. Women Walking for Wl AEProvincial Board meeting lastsum- er, Women’s Institute member Peggy Knapp planted a seed in our ROSE garden, That“seed" was that all WI meni- bers get out and walk and record their distances. This is an activity that all mem- bers can participate in and at no cost. And yet make a big statement for WI, You may think you‘re not capable or your short distance doesn't really count. Never think you don‘t count. If you make just one mile a month. that is one mile that wouldn’t have been counted without you! Here are some ideas to get you thinking rid moving: Ask a friend to walk with you: they may become a member. I Present a certificate. or some other form at recognition, to the member in your Branch with the most miles. ' Recognize 'the oldest and youngest walker and write an article t'orthe local paper. ' Organize a media presentation with your local paper or radio and televiston station. Make a real big deal otlhe fact that you are walking for your health. ' Record the distances walked by mem- bers who use walkers and canes. ' Plan a wind-up celebration in your Branch. District or Area. I Contact your local Osteoporosis Society and work with them on this project. What a great idea to do something for yourself. your family and the Women‘s Institute all at the same time. So. let's get moving. And don’t forget to record the wstances to be turned in at Your Area onvention in 2003.
