Wendy’s-sponsored display of portraits at ERC gallery A compelling display of children’s portraits from Franklin County Children’s Services with the theme “All Children Count” is currently on display in the ERC second-floor gallery. The portraits are part of a series sponsored by the Wendy's Wonderful Kids program. They were used in a calendar featuring children in need of foster or adoptive parents in Franklin County.  Information from Children’s Services is also available in the gallery area, for those interested in learning more about foster and adoption programs in the county.

Wellness Challenge kicks off for Fall Quarter
It is time for the next wellness challenge: Wellness Challenge, The Sequel. According to Don Laubenthal, Human Performance Center, “This wellness challenge will be a little different from the Body Challenge in that it will be based on individual points rather than team points.”

According to Laubenthal, for every hour of wellness activity in which you participate, you will earn five wellness points.  This includes physical activity, wellness seminars, and wellness classes.  For example, if you went to a campus wellness seminar that was an hour long, you would record the date, seminar title, total time, and the number of points you acquired (in this example, 5 points).  You will also need to get the signature of the individual conducting the seminar/lecture.  Where do you record your wellness activities and points?  Just go to the campus wellness website at (http://cscc.edu//wellness/index.htm) and download the Wellness Challenge Tracking Form. 

The Wellness Challenge will run from October 1 to December 1, and the top twenty point-earners will receive prizes.  There also will be prizes for the top point earners for October and November.  Just remember, all participants are responsible for recording and tallying their own point totals.  Get started soon and get healthy while earning points toward a prize.  Please contact Nichole Bowman-Glover at ext. 3989 or Don Laubenthal at ext. 3627 with questions regarding this latest wellness challenge.
