A 10-Week Challenge with Courts Plus kicks off the second week in January. Sign up and get pre-measured at the Courts Plus Wellness Table in the library lobby on Friday, Jan. 11 from 12-2 p.m. or Saturday, Jan. 12 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Over the course of the challenge, you will earn "Wellness Points" by focusing on physical, nutritional and emotional well-being.

“Participating with others in a group challenge can be a fun, motivating, and effective way to get started making life changes,” Dan Roelofs, Membership Services specialist at Courts Plus, said in a release. “This challenge is for individuals ready to make some simple, healthy habit changes and would benefit from the knowledge, support, and accountability that comes from a team effort.”
