The TOPS 16 weekly meeting was held at First Presbyterian Church on East Corydon Street on Wednesday.

The meeting was called to order by leader Dianna Lewis with the TOPS Pledge and the song, “Hoorah.”

Weight recorder Carole VanSickle and Jessie Skillman weighed in 11 members with a loss of 9.4 pounds.

Best loser of the week was Teresa Bond. Best loser in waiting was Christopher Lathrop and the officer is Nan Stoling.

Five members were excused and two members for calories.

The food to avoid is all chocolates. The nickelodeon is sandwiches and wraps. The fruit is nectarines and the vegetable is beets.

The inspiration and joke was by Elaine Harris, and the smile by Jessie Skillman.

The secretary’s report was by Nan Stoling.

The program was by Jeanne Miller, who talked about soups for weight loss.

Area Caption Silvana Reed had an awards program honoring TOPS 16’s three weight loss winners for 2024. They were Nan Stoling, Virginia and Christopher Lathrop.

The meeting was adjourned with the Friendship Circle and the TOPS Prayer.

TOPS meetings are held Wednesdays with weigh-ins from 11 to 12:55 p.m. The meeting is from 1 to 1:45 p.m. There is a handicap ramp by the side door of the parking lot. All are welcome.
