Hi Everyone!

I believe it is safe to say that summer is here to stay this time.  And with summer come Graduation parties as well as Father’s Day celebrations.  Make sure that you are keeping on track and don’t take a vacation from TOPS during this time.  Each week no matter what time of the year, holds many challenges for us as we work towards our goals or at maintaining them.  Summer should be easier for us as the fresh fruits and vegetables are in season.  But for some reason, the picnics and other events can sabotage us adding extra calories in other ways.   So make sure that you are weighing-in and receiving the support of your fellow members by attending your weekly meetings. 

What an exciting time as we wind down from our SRDs and prepare for IRD.  Once again I am happy to say that we have several International Winners from our area and you will see them at IRD or after July on our websites.  If you were unable to attend SRD this year, check things out at our state websites.  I want to thank all of you for your warm hospitality.  My travels were very uneventful this year (I like it like that) and I arrived home safe and sound after each journey.  And now I am busy working on things to welcome you to my state – as we host IRD 2011 in Milwaukee, WI.  It’s not too late to join us!  Just let me know if you need assistance in making your last minute plans.

I hope to see many of you at IRD 2011 in Milwaukee – where we will celebrate the success of our winners at “Happy Days With TOPS - 2011”. 

Have a wonderful June and remember –

I’m Here for You!
