If you want to lose weight, TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) meets every Monday night at the Advocate Fire Hall at 7 p.m.
I also wanted to mention the gym equipment that is available at the log building. The cost is $1 to use the equipment, which consists of two tread mills, a universal weight machine, an eliptical machine and a stationary bike.
Well, that's it for this week. Have a great weekend and enjoy your family and friends!
