‍WELLNESS CHALLENGE
KICKOFF TOMORROW

‍On September 13, the Village is launching an exciting new community initiative: the 1 Million Minutes of Wellness Challenge! 

This 12-week challenge is designed to introduce participants of all ages and abilities to the eight pillars of wellness (physical, emotional, social, intellectual, environmental, financial, occupational, and spiritual) and unite individuals, families, schools, businesses and houses of worship around the shared goal of building a healthier community - one minute at a time. 

Whether it’s a morning walk or run, reading a book, doing a crossword puzzle, taking a fitness class, working in the garden, playing a sport, or sharing a meal with family or friends, every minute counts.

Simply log your minutes between September 13 and December 5 by using this Google Form. And be sure to join us for the kickoff event in Memorial Park at Van Neste Square on September 13.
