TOPS

TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter 462, Smithsburg, held its weekly meeting at Veterans Park in Smithsburg.

The chapter usually meets at St. Paul's Church, but last week Bible school was in session so the TOPS meeting had to be moved.

After weigh-in and a short meeting, the group members walked around the park for extra exercise. This is the second time the chapter has walked around the park.

The meeting will move back to St. Paul's Church Thursday, where Sandy will lead the program.

Weigh-in is at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting is from 6 to 7 p.m. All are welcome.

For more information, call Ola at 301-824-7650.
