With Valentine's Day this month of February what better way to show LOVE then to make an effort for you and your family to have healthier hearts and bodies. Healthy recipes can be found in many magazines and books. Walking 15 minutes two times a day is another great way to start building a healthy heart. By beginning a simple walking routine you will be ready to take part in the LIVEWELL FFERGUSON Twilight run/walk May 15.

Planning for Ferguson Sunday Parkways is getting underway; another fun outdoor activity for all ages, and volunteers are needed.
