News from Shape Up Vashon

Shape Up now has over 100 members! At the members’ request, we are creating new fun activities.  First, we have started a walking group: SUV Roadsters. Any member can sign up and call a walk anywhere, anytime for folks to join. In a program for the community, Kari Bell, who cooks great recipes at the Thriftway demo section, is presenting “Friends with Veggies” every Wednesday. Learn new easy vegetable recipes and when possible, she will have the main ingedient on sale.
