The 11-7-13 TOPS meeting was called to order by Bert.

18 TOPS, 1 KOPS, and 1 visitor, Cecilia Avers, were present.

November state and area newsletters were read by Bert. Here are the highlights:

• The next Fun Day will be hosted by the Blackwell chapter with the theme “Old Time Movies.” The date is January 25, 2013, and a back-up date, in case of inclement weather, is February 8, 2013
• The spring Fun Day will be hosted by the Stillwater morning chapter with the theme “Here Comes the Bride.”

The pirate coins were explained in the state newsletter. Different Fun Day activities are worth different amounts of coins. For example:

• 5 coins for a full costume
• 3 coins for attending Fun Day
• 1 coin for
  • Walking 50 miles
  • Exercising 25 hours
  • 90-95 days of keeping food charts
  • Perfect attendance
  • All black (no weight gains) for the quarter

The coins will be handed out at Fun Days until SRD, which is May 23-24 in OKC. “Pirates” is the theme. At SRD, certain items will be available for “purchase” with the coins.

Program: Tammy told us about her encounter with a car jacker and brought it to our attention that bad things happen to real people, even in our small community.
