PostHeaderIcon Activate Rewards Program Changes

You wanted more rewards to keep you motivated in 2010 and we listened! 

 

This year all participants will turn in step trackers monthly.  They can be mailed, emailed, faxed, dropped off at the Activate office or left on the Low Impact sign-in clipboard at the YMCA.  In return, you will receive an inspirational surprise gift in the mail as our way of keeping you active in 2010.

 

 Additionally, as part of celebrating National Start Walking Week all month long in April, we will host our bi-annual Step Tastic event on April 16th at 7:00 p.m. at the West Piedmont Business Development Center, 22 East Church Street.  Be sure to mark your calendar.  You don’t want to miss your chance of winning the $300 grand prize to be drawn that day. Remember—You must be present to win the grand prize. 

Various door prizes will also be drawn from step trackers received.   

All members meeting milestones (100, 250, 500 miles, etc)  will receive their Step Tastic t-shirt during the event.   If you cannot attend, your t-shirt will be mailed to you. 

Keep stepping your way to better health!

PostHeaderIcon Tuesday Morning Stroll Kicks Off 3rd Season

Below freezing temps didn't dampen the spirits for the kick off of the 2010 season of Tuesday Morning Strolls. We simply moved the walk indoors to Liberty Fair Mall! Thanks to our new partners at Martinvsille Parks & Recreation, Tuesday Morning Strolls has a new inclement weather hotline to alert participants of cancelations and location changes due to weather.

More than a dozen participants came out register for the program and walk. Jeannie Frisco of Activate (shown at left in green)  spoke to the participants about the importance of walking for health before we embarked upon a one mile walk (five laps around the mall). Throughout the walk, participants answered trivia questions about health & nutrition and some even won prizes.

Tuesday Morning Strolls is a partnership between the Dan River Basin Association, Henry County Parks & Recreation, Martinsville Parks & Recreation and Activate M-HC.

 
The next Tuesday Morning Stroll will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 19th at Wilson Park. The group will meet at 9 a..m. Contact Regenia Manns for more information on the walk at 276-634-2591.
