We are excited to announce that the LIFT exercise program was a great success!

LIFT classes were held at the Penland Senior Center in Murphy, NC with nine participants completing the eight-week program. Participants pictured from left to right include Weldon Beach, Nancy Beach, Adelle Boyer-Weiss, Sheryl Paul, Elo-Ly Bailey, Mary Winchell, Shirley Frett, Vickie Smith and Marie Conner (not pictured below).

All LIFT participants reported an increase in vegetable and fruit consumption, an increase in knowledge regarding nutrition, and that they are planning to exercise more frequently than before starting the program.
