Happy Easter
Dear GHD Member,
Do you remember the children’s Easter song “Here comes Peter Cottontail”? The second line of lyrics says “hoppin’ down the bunny trail”. Peter didn’t stay in his rabbit hole home all day and snack on junk food. In fact, when he did stop to eat, he ate carrots and lettuce not those easy to reach bags of fatty snacks. Perhaps we should think about Mr. Cottontail’s habits. This spring make it your goal to be more physically active. Hop, skip, jump, walk, run, sprint into a better body. Getting started is the hardest part. Get up right now, grab a family member, a friend or co-worker, and start moving. Your body will feel better, your attitude will improve and you’ll be less likely to grab another cookie.
Thank you to our GHD volunteers who worked at our booth at the DeSoto Home Show. Volunteers were: RN Sarah Warnke, Jennifer Kidwell, Layna Richardson, Sandy Johner, Melissa McAlpine, Charlotte Wilks, Marietta Martin and Natalie Pigg. Thanks to their people skills we enrolled 24 new GHD members and made $19.00. Way to go ladies!

Dear GHD Member:
This is such an exciting time for Get Healthy DeSoto. Our membership is growing and we are spreading the enthusiasm to surrounding communities. We have some significant projects under consideration for DeSoto. As a member I know you understand and appreciate the accomplishments GHD has made so far. I would like to update you on a couple of projects we are working on at this time.
Walking/Bicycle Trail in Ritcher Park
This would enable people to better utilize Ritcher Park in a healthy active way. The trail would cost approximately $13,500. At this time GHD has $2,500.00 on deposit with the City of DeSoto to go toward this project.
Walking Pocket Maps
Some of you may have seen the maps we currently have for three different courses throughout DeSoto. Our goal is to print seven additional courses. The total cost of the project is $3,099.50. This would give us 2,000 copies of each new map, reprint 1,000 copies of the three existing maps and would provide 10 outdoor plastic map holders.
Get Healthy DeSoto is proud to be able to provide the free membership that gives you access to the many educational sessions, newsletters and activities hosted by GHD. Our intention is to maintain this free membership.
If you would like to make a tax deductible contribution toward the projects listed above please make your check payable to “Get Healthy DeSoto” and mail to Get Healthy DeSoto, c/o Debby Campbell, 431 Johnston Drive, DeSoto, Mo. 63020. All donations are appreciated. We hope you will consider becoming a vested member in these projects.
Thank you for your participation in making DeSoto a healthier and active community.
Sincerely,
Cathy Boyer
Secretary of Get Healthy DeSoto
