Start Somewhere Walk on Oct. 7

Posted October 3, 2011
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad has proposed Iowa should be the number-one healthiest state in the union.  Right now it is rated at number 19.  So he has initiated a statewide "Start Somewhere Walk" to encourage everyone to walk one kilometer (about 7 blocks) at noon on Friday, Oct. 7.

Opportunity Village will be participating in this challenge at the Clear Lake campus.  We'll meet on the plaza, walk towards Oak Hill Cottage to get on our fitness trail, loop around behind Pioneer and Morning Sun cottages, and head back to the plaza.

The community is welcome to join us!  Let's all make the effort to support Iowa and begin to add more walking to our lives.
