Walk Across America — We’re on Our Way! 👟

The Health & Wellness Committee’s Walk Across America challenge is going strong as we celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary!

As of July 31, our members have traveled an incredible 1,268 miles! We’re now between New York City and Saratoga and continuing our journey toward Yorktown, Virginia.

🏆 Congratulations to our first-place walker for July, Terry Poduska, with an amazing 208.7 miles! Terry added plenty of miles while walking all over Europe on her recent vacation!

Want to help us keep moving? Every bit of activity counts—walking, running, hiking, yoga, fitness classes, cycling, dancing, and everyday movement can all be converted into steps.

📅 Submit your steps or activity each month to Lisa Belisle at [email protected]. August submissions are due Friday, September 4, 2026.

Every step gets us closer to our goal. Keep moving—we’re on our way! 👟

🍹 Cocktails, Conversation & Giving Back! 👠👟

On August 11, 10 members gathered for Cocktails on the Patio—an evening of friendship, conversation, and community service.

Together, our members collected an incredible 109 pairs of shoes for Soles4Souls! 💚

Soles4Souls turns donated shoes and clothing into opportunities that make a difference worldwide. Donations help fight poverty by supporting entrepreneurs, provide relief to people experiencing crisis, and protect our planet by keeping shoes and clothing out of landfills.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and donated. 109 pairs of shoes can go a long way toward making a difference! 👟💕
