Sadly ironic – we saluted Don Perlick last week as his birthday was in the first week of April, not knowing that Don had passed away just a few days before. Funeral services were held at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park last Wednesday, with a dinner for friends and family following at Temple Akiba. Condolences go to Don’s wife Joyce and family.
To reinforce the Culver-Palms Family YMCA’s commitment to Healthy Living, a Diabetes Prevention Program is being developed. If you are at risk for Type 2 diabetes, the YMCA’s year-long program will begin with 16 small, one-hour weekly classroom sessions, then eight monthly sessions, all teaching strategies for healthy eating, physical activity, and other lifestyle changes. It’s a supportive environment where you can work with others in a small group setting to learn how to adopt healthy habits to reduce your risk (one of the session topics is Four Keys to Healthy Eating Out – a good one!). Are you at risk? Visit www.ymcala.org/page/s/diabetes-prevention-inquiry. Then contact Tina Groff, Healthy Lifestyles Coordinator at (310) 390-3604 or [email protected] for more information.
