A Tradition of Red Kettle Volunteering by The Salvation Army Northeast Ohio Division
Neal Walton Beck, born January 17, 1932, has dedicated his life to service, community and helping others. Neal is a Mason and maintains more than 72 years of continuous service. Neal’s journey with The Salvation Army began while helping care for his mother-in-law, who was deeply devoted to ensuring the bells continued ringing each holiday season. Wanting to support her efforts, Neal joined her in volunteering around the Strongsville area near the mall. Even after her passing and his later move to Medina, Neal continued driving back to Strongsville to make sure the bells were still ringing and the tradition of helping others continued.

There’s More to Weight Loss Than Diet and Exercise: A Bariatric Surgeon’s Perspective by
Many people know the frustration of sitting in their doctor’s office and being told to “just eat less and exercise more” to lose weight. For someone who has likely been dieting on and off for years, that advice is more than vague and unhelpful. It is downright offensive. And for parents who are already stretched thin between work, school, activities, and everyone else’s needs, it can feel like one more thing at which you’re failing.

Please join us at our upcoming open houses. No RSVP needed.
Thursday, 10/15, 5-7 pm in the Premier Physicians building, 25200 Center Ridge Rd., Suite 1100, Westlake.
