Subject: Fitness-at-Work Program

You've probably heard about the new fitness-at-work program initiated by the head office to encourage us to incorporate some exercise into our daily work routine. Sandra Maxwell of personnel has taken on responsibility for the fitness-at-work program at the Lakewood facility. She has nominated me to set up a walking group, to be known as Walk at Work. We are lucky to work in a beautiful area surrounded by parks, so what better place to take a walk?

Walk at Work will meet during the lunch break, beginning next Monday. The aim is to walk together along the footpaths for at least twenty minutes. There will be two walks each day, one at 12:30 P.M., led by me, and the second at 1:00 p.m., led by Jim Dixon.

This program is fully supported by Sanderson Associates, which has arranged for all staff who enroll in Walk at work to receive a ten percent discount on membership at Lakewood Fitness Center, a state-of-the-art fitness complex with gyms, a swimming pool, and exercise classes.

We think this is a great idea, and we hope you will too, so why not join us? You can e-mail me or just meet us at the main entrance on Monday at 12:30 P.M. or 1:00 p.m.

Happy walking!
