Fall River Government Center
employees got a jump on Spring by organizing a lunch-time walking group
that was a follow-up to February's
Go Red for Women
Day, the American Heart Association event that
emphasized heart-healthy activity. Katie Souza of the Pose Dance Studio
was on hand to start the walk with some warm-up stretches. Walkers
enjoyed the early spring weather and headed out for a fifteen-minute
jaunt that took them by many of downtown Fall River's historic
buildings. The group plans to make walking a regular event since most of
the employees spend long hours seated at their desks. For more
information or to receive assistance in organizing other downtown
walking groups, contact Maureen Estes, Fall River Community Coordinator
at Mestes@fallriverma.org. |
