Bear Lake Weight Loss Club to Hold Open House

On Monday, Sept. 23 at 10am, the Bear Lake chapter of TOPS ("Take Off Pounds Sensibly") will hold an open house at the Bear Lake Methodist Church, 7861 Main St., for people interested in losing weight and healthy living.

TOPS is a non-profit group that meets each Monday at 9:30am at the Bear Lake UMC to help its attendees lose weight by education, peer support and regular weigh-ins.  There are no required foods or special diets.  Weight-loss programs are individualized by each person and their doctor.

Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge.  Membership is $28 per year, plus $3 per month chapter fees.  For additional information about the Bear Lake TOPS chapter or the upcoming open house, contact Jane Alstrom at (231) 889-3500.
