Spring is almost here - are you ready to get fit? If so, do the "local" motion and join Meriden Movers. The Meriden Health Department will be starting the spring session of Meriden Movers, a community walking program, on March 31, 2008. Those who live and/or work in Meriden are encouraged to enroll in the program for better health. Program participants will receive: A pedometer and walking log to track their steps; A t-shirt half-way through the program; Free health screenings to track your progress (must enroll by March 31 in order to receive health screenings); A weekly motivational e-newsletter with walking tips and healthy recipes. Pedometers and t-shirts are limited to the first 100 people to register.

Walking teams are highly encouraged. Registration starts March 17. Registration forms and information on the program can be found on the Meriden Health Department website, www.meridenhealth.com, or by calling Lea Crown, Health Educator, at 630-4238, or by email at lcrown@ci.meriden.ct.us. Walk for health � every step counts! This program is funded through the United Way of Meriden and Wallingford venture grant program.
