Experiencing Tina's Spark
Experiencing Tina's Spark
Janneke Sobeck, Director of Live Well Winona

SPARK - pronounced /spärk/   

Noun: a sense of liveliness and excitement.

Verb: ignite.  

 

What motivates you in life? For my mom, Tina, that's an easy question. EVERYTHING! My mom surrounds herself with people that inspire her, places that spur her into action, and activities that ignite her. Nothing proved this to me more clearly than watching her participate in the 2015 National Senior Games, hosted this year in Minnesota.

 

My mom's senior basketball team, The Massachusetts Miracles, have been competing in the Senior Games for several years. They look forward to the physical challenge and the emotional celebration all year. They have heart, passion, talent, and dedication. But most importantly, they have fun. These ladies, all in their late fifties or early sixties, are the youngsters at these events. Men and women well into their seventies, eighties, and even nineties compete for the love of the game.

Walk & Talk Series
Winona State University's College of Business and Live Well Winona are looking for partners for a community event. We believe a week-long series of Walk & Talks will have a positive impact on the well-being of our community, and serve as an innovative idea exchange platform. If you or an organization you are involved with are interested in learning more about hosting a Walk & Talk in September, please join us on Wednesday, August 5th at 7:30am. The walking meeting will leave from Live Well Winona.
