Hi Everyone!
What an exciting time at IRD this year as many winners from our area were honored. Please take time to read all about them on our websites (or at www.tops.org).
President Barb continues to challenges us again this year with her “Cut and Burn” challenge. Cutting 100 calories from our daily food plan and increasing our activity to burn 100 calories more each day, could result in a 10-pound loss from 2010 International Recognition Days (IRD) to the end of the year—and up to a 20-pound loss by IRD 2011. I hope you are excited about taking on her challenge and achieve positive results with a few simple changes to your lifestyle.
There will be special tours of TOPS Headquarters as well as other tours of the city. Perhaps your chapter will want to have fund raisers to assist your members in attending IRD in the city where TOPS began in 1948!
Please make sure to check out the news from your area captain and/or Coordinator. Upcoming events as well as important updates on rules have been included in their newsletters.
Keep up the good work with your weight losses and continue sharing TOPS with your friends and family.
I Care –
Bev

Our
theme for the next two years was introduced by Barb Cady at IRD in Halifax.
It will be the “The Road to Success”. You will be hearing much more about
our new theme in the months ahead. Check out her message about “A New Leaf”
as she talks about hosting a chapter Open House. 
IRD
2011 will be held in Milwaukee, WI and the theme will be “Happy Days With
TOPS”….yes – it’s a “Fifties” theme and the committee promises you a great
time as we honor our winners and KOPS. The housing form is available
on-line at 
Would
you like to learn a little bit more about our founder, Esther Manz? There
is a DVD of "The Story of Esther Manz" available in the TOPS store for
$5.00. You will find it under the category: Equipment. You will also find
a "Peaceful Place" Relaxation CD available until September 30th
for $4.50. Both would make a great chapter program.
