Newspapers and television programs are filled with stories of how the current eating and exercise habits are leading to a more obese and unhealthy nation. Research shows poor eating and
exercise habits are often established during childhood and are continued into adulthood. Clinton County is not exempt from these trends.

Clinton County on the Move will hold an activity on Saturday, January 27 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. During this time, all area residents and their families are invited to attend a free and open event at the Clinton County YMCA at 700 Elm St. in Wilmington. Area agencies that provide opportunities for physical activity or education on healthier living will have presentations, table top displays, and a variety of activities. In addition there will be tours of the YMCA facilities and organized walks on the new Bicentennial Path. Walks will be hosted at 10:30 a.m., 11:30
a.m., and 12:30 p.m. All participants who register during the event will be entered to win a variety of door prizes.

Please take a moment to mark your calendar and invite your family and friends to attend the Clinton County on the Move kick-off on January 21, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. Committee co-chairs Bob Derge, Clinton County Health Commissioner and Susan Holladay, OSU Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Science Education in Clinton County, and all of the volunteer leaders look forward to seeing your family on the move to healthier living.
