Women Lead the Way

This six-week wellness program from March 20 thru April 24 encourages women and men to develop sustainable healthy exercise and eating habits. Five walks featuring the contributions to health by women in Beatrice history are planned in Beatrice, as well as additional historical trails in Wymore and Odell. Pre-registration and information packet pick-up will be March 17-19 at the Beatrice Public Library and at the first walk. The first 100 individuals attending the March 20th walk will receive a free pedometer. Following each walk, a weekly prize will be awarded to one of the walkers attending. Also, each weekly walker will be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing. For additional chances for the Grand Prize Drawing of a week-end at Mahoney Park, walkers must complete and submit journals to the Beatrice Public Library by April 27th. Weekly prizes include: walking shoes, message, wellness baskets and walking clothing. Weekly walks start at 1:00 PM
