COMMITTEE REPORTS
Wellness Advocacy and
Student Awards Committee
Linda Blair, Wellness and Student Awards Committee Chair
W
e held a very successful Photography
Workshop on Friday, September 20th
despite the downpour of rain. Due to
the positive feedback, we are hoping to have
Gayl Punzalan present a follow-up workshop in
September, 2020. Also there has been interest
expressed in a repeat of this workshop as presented
in September, 2019. If you would be interested in
either workshop or both, you can indicate your
interest to the RTAM office. As a committee, we
appreciate knowing what our membership would
engage in if presented with the opportunity.
On Friday, October 18, we held a very successful
Extreme Winter Driving Conditions seminar.
Christian from MPI guided us through a power point
with detailed information regarding the various
winter driving scenarios. Several questions were
raised and answered. Secondly, Sam from TONS
(Transportation Options Network for Seniors)
presented a power point which informed us of the
various ways that we could access transportation
when driving ourselves would not be a viable
option. Once again the opportunity for questions
was afforded us and many questions were asked
and answered. www.tonsmb.org or info@tonsmb.
org or 204-799-1788.
Future seminars could include Ageism,
Decluttering, Cooking for One, Navigating the Internet,
to name just a few ideas that may or may not come
to early fruition. I encourage you to checkout our
RTAM Website for current Wellness happenings
in particular. Be sure to checkout the website
periodically as information on events is added.
If you have ideas for seminars, workshops,
presenters, etc. please pass on your information to
the office. Our committee may be able to use your
information to put together that event.
Remember there is a Wellness grant. If your
Chapter needs funds to proceed with a Wellness
event, here is a grant that may provide these funds.
