Get Up and Move
These days, adults spend more time at work than ever before. An unfortunate side effect is that, as a nation, we're becoming more inactive. This is a problem when you consider the fact that physical inactivity doubles the risk of heart disease!
But take heart! It's a problem you can help fix by convincing your company to take part in National Start! Walking Day.
On this day, employees are encouraged to wear sneakers to work and take at least 30 minutes out of their day to get up and walk. It's a great way to raise awareness of the Start! movement and to give your coworkers a friendly push toward a healthier life.

All parties that normally have responsibilities carried out as usual. We changed the volunteer shifts from 3 to 2 hours, had all slots filled, and proviced each volunteer with a new OARDC-embroidered t-shirt. Horticulture and Crop Sciences Department was highlighted this year with special recognition going to Katrina Cornish for her focus on the TKS project and offered a name the plant contest.
