WALK FOR HEALTH DURING THE 14TH ANNUAL WALK AT LUNCH

In observation of National Employee Health & Fitness Day, Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt is pleased to announce the 14th annual Walk @ Lunch on Wednesday, May 14th, sponsored by the Wicomico County Executive’s Fitness Council.

Cara Rozaieski, Wicomico County Health Department Community Health Education Supervisor and Fitness Council co-chairperson commented, “Walking is one of the easiest ways to increase your activity level and improve your health. Walk at Lunch is a great opportunity for new walkers to see where to walk downtown and for seasoned walkers to take their usual walk in a fun atmosphere.”

“We encourage employees to take advantage of the supported walk, free lunch, out-door prizes, exhibitors, vendors, and demonstrations. We also encourage employers to promote this event to their workers, held in celebration of National Employee Health and Fitness Day.”

Participants are asked to register online via www.wicomicohealth.org for this free event by May 7th. Walkers may register the day of the event but they will not be guaranteed a free lunch.

Pollitt commented, “While I greatly appreciate the Executive’s Fitness Council for organizing this event, I also want to acknowledge our wonderful sponsors. We are grateful to our sponsors for the many ways they support the community. We look forward to seeing you this year at the Walk!”

This year’s Walk @ Lunch sponsors are: Avery Hall Insurance, Bradley Gillis, CFS Retirement & Tax Solutions, Hebron Savings Bank, Market Street Inn, Mid-Shore Family YMCA, Peninsula Insurance, Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) Food Services, PRMC Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab, Pepsi Bottling Ventures, City Florist, the Wicomico County Board of Education School Nutrition Services, and the Wicomico County Health Department
