Gerri Gorney: Gerri moved to Tigard from California in 2014 and, after her husband’s death, moved to Charbonneau because of its beauty, security, and serenity. She joined CWA because of the interesting programs it offers and to meet the women who make the organization run like clockwork. After agreeing to model in the 2019 Spring Fashion Show, she was asked to serve on the board and was reminded once again that if you say “Yes” once, you’re hooked. Her love of travel has taken Gerri to six continents, 59 countries and 28 states in the U.S. She is devoted to gardening and reading, and when arthritic hands permit, playing her piano, a gift from her beloved late husband.

After thorough discussion we made the decision to handle the increased costs by increasing the luncheon ticket price $5 per person. Our annual membership dues will remain unchanged. This will allow us to continue our enjoyable and informative programs while remaining financially responsible.

To aid on the journey to a health- ier you, TVF&R offers the following tips: ■ Enlist a buddy: Talk to loved ones, neighbors, and friends and in- vite them to join you on this quest. Invite them to participate in physi- cal activities, share a balanced meal and have a fun adventure. Challenge each other to see who can take the most steps in a week, or to come up with a recipe that transforms a comfort food into a de- licious meal packed with nutrients. ■ Fuel your body: Eating bal- anced meals helps your body better fight off sickness and recover more quickly when you are sick. Drink plenty of water. Enjoy fruits and vegetables throughout your day as snacks, toppings, side dishes, or in your main meal. A healthy diet also includes whole grains, fat-free or low-fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Limit the saturated fats, trans fats, cho- lesterol, salt and added sugars in your diet. ■ Get moving: As little as 30 min- utes of exercise a day can help keep your body fit to fight off illness and prevent injury. You can even do simple exercises at home. Consult your physician to see what exercis- es will benefit you most. Carving out time to exercise has been shown to increase your energy lev- el, reduce health risks, lower stress, improve your mood, and boost your productivity. Regular physical activity is important for your overall health and fitness. It can also be a great source of fun. ■ Get your sleep: Physical activi- ty can improve your quality of sleep. Try to get six to eight hours of sleep each night to re-charge your body. ■ Ditch bad habits: Limit your al- cohol and caffeine consumption and quit smoking for good. Set healthy goals for yourself and celebrate when you achieve them. For more information about adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle, visit www.tvfr.com.
