Congratulations to three-time cancer survivor and wellness advocate Lois Walker for being named the December Member of the Month. 

As a way of staying mobile and living a long and vibrant life, Lois makes walking daily and eating a healthy diet the focus of her wellness routine. This sounds like a great strategy to us and we are proud of Lois for positive energy.

Thank you, Lois, for being a loyal supporter of BPS and the Lied Activity Center!

LAC: How do you stay on track?
LOIS: I just get up and do it even if it is a 20-minute walk. I listen to my body- it knows when it is time to quit.

LAC: What is your favorite part of the LAC?
LOIS: The people- both members and staff. They are friendly- no one hollering at you to do one more squat, push up etc.
