The 1^st and 2^nd place Challenge Winners will be luncheon guests of Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital at the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday, May 5, at 12:00 noon.  The meeting is held at The Center for Rural Development.

If you would like to join in the celebration, everyone is welcomed.  I believe the cost of the luncheon is in the $12- $14 range each, and you can pay at the door.

We want to acknowledge this year’s “Perfect Attendance” winners, too: Cheryl Adelmeyer, Joe Adelmeye, Epifania Ball, Shirley Gaddis, Derick Parnell, Eva Somers, and Del Whitson.  They were presented a special gift from the hospital in recognition of their accomplishment. Congratulations!

Finally, we want to congratulate our POP participant with the highest number of Incentive Points.  It’s Epifania Ball!  Who-hooo!  Great job, Fannie!

If you ordered a T-Shirt, but DIDN’T come for the FINAL WEIGH-IN – we still have your shirt waiting for you! You can stop by the Senior Friends office on the basement level of the hospital anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to get your shirt! If that time doesn’t work for you, please give me a call or send an email, and we’ll arrange to have your shirt available to pick up at the front information desk at a time that is more convenient.

You all have been great! Thank you so much for sharing the last 12 weeks with us!  We have learned a lot, have loved getting to know you, and have enjoyed the experience more than we can even express.  We invite you to join us NEXT year, too!  We had several alumni from last year’s group, and hope you will help us increase it even more for the 2017 program.
