THIS WEEK'S TIP 

Start using your online fundraising page!  Razoo enables you to share your page through social media, so you can reach an even greater number of people as you share the Y story! 

More than 50% of people say that they would donate to a cause because a friend asked them.  Razoo makes it simple to ask your friends and family to support you in something you are passionate about. 

Since February, the Y has received more than 50 gifts via Razoo!

Have any questions about how to access your page or share it online?  Let me know!   

MISSION MOMENT MONDAY 

"I first found out about the Diabetes Prevention Program through the local newspaper. I am in my 60s and as I get older, I find it harder and harder to lose weight - and to keep it off.  

One of  the things I loved most about the program was that it held me accountable. We had a small class and the camaraderie between the classmates kept me coming back. I found that the members of my class all shared tips and tricks - and sometimes I learned the most from other people participating with me!

I have made many changes to my life - including learning to measure more and use less - without it impacting the taste of my food. For instance, with salad dressing I used to use 2 tablespoons and now I only use one - and I choose better options that are still tasty.  

In total, I lost 20 pounds - which is not easy to do at any age - but is much more difficult at my age. Before I participated in the class, I was afraid of fitness machines,  but the instructors helped show me how to use them so that I don't injure myself. I really enjoyed the women's wellness and spinning class, and am looking forward to taking advantage of more programs that the Y offers."
