Thursday will mark both the finish and starting line for the Healthy Living Action Group’s Healthy U program as members from the 2012 class weigh in for the last time and the 2013 class is announced during “A Night of Inspiration.”
“I think it’s going to be an emotional night, but a fun one too,” said Sarah Nail, chairwoman of the Healthy Living Action Group and Community Outreach Coordinator for Bothwell Regional Health Center. “We wanted to do something special for the 2012 class, it’s been a big year for them, and also to inaugurate the 2013 class and kick off next year’s program with a bang.”
