I want to thank LuAnn Maratik (pictured at left along with “Tony the Tiger” as these two characters visited the clinic and handed out treats) for providing my Monarch costume this year! After she offered to do so I had agreed to wear anything she came up with. On the one hand, I feel fortunate (she could have come up with something a lot more crazy). On the
other hand... I don’t ever recall seeing a Monarch
butterfly in a tutu!!! Mary Beth had commented, “Only you can get away with wearing that!” I’m still not
quite sure how to interpret that!?!
38th Survivor-Athlete Qualifies for the 2019 Survive, Thrive & Be Fit Team! Congratulations to our most recent Survive, Thrive & Be Fit Team Member – Survivor-Athlete Linda Ansay! Linda becomes our 81st survivor-athlete to participate in Survive, Thrive & Be Fit this year and the 38th to earn a spot on the 2019 Survive, Thrive & Be Fit Team by accumulating 5 or more ST&BF activity points!

Consider these ST&BF Opportunities:
Gentle Yoga for Cancer Survivors: This group typically meets 3 weeknights and one Saturday morning per month. No experience necessary and all props provided!
Indoor Row Group: We just kicked off our 2019/20 Indoor Row Group Season which runs from November 1st through April 30th! IRG sessions are scheduled on various days and times throughout the month. If you are interested and would like to give rowing a try, contact Tim to set up an IRG Intro/Demo at any time throughout the season.
Pickleball Play: We have one evening indoor Pickleball Play session scheduled each month from November through May, typically on the first Wednesday of the month and held at Farnsworth Middle School. Pickleball enthusiast Bruce Becker will offer basic instructions for beginners and tips for experienced players.
Steps to Survivorship: We still have tow “Steps to Survivorship” group walk/jog/run sessions before the end of the year: November 21st and December 3rd on the Shoreline 400 Trail. And, when the snow falls, be sure to watch for:
Survivors on Snowshoes: These are often last-minute and impromptu sessions scheduled as conditions allow! A limited supply of snowshoes are available. Watch for details!
Active Survivors of Sheboygan: You can earn a spot on the ST&BF simply by recording your daily exercise activities in the ST&BF Activity Log and submitting it! Work out 30-minutes a day or more 8 to 15 days per month to earn 1 point, 16 to 19 days to earn 2 points and 20 or more days to earn 3 points each month! Contact Tim for details and to obtain a ST&BF Exercise Logbook.
Congratulations to these 38 “Survivor-Athletes” and current 2019 ST&BF Team Members (as of 10/31/19):
October: Linda Ansay September: Deb Borucki August: Cindy Daane, Stacy Harriott July: No new members June: Stacey Hand, Sharon Pentek, Althea Smith May: Carolyn Eiden April: Rose Buteyn, Chris Meyer, Judy Rowe, John Seaman March: Ron Boeldt, Lisa Glander, Mary Rohde, Beth Stockdale, Dennis Sundell, Rae-Ellen Weber February: Barb Bogenschuts, Lenny Bogenschutz, Kathy Burch, Judy Clark, Leah Heusterberg, Mary

Year-to-Date Comparison (2019 compared to 2018):
January through October 2018 2019 (+/-)
Participating Survivor-Athletes 72 81 +9
ST&BF Team Members (5+ pts) 42 38 -4
ST&BF Team Activity Points 1380 1554 +174
As you can see from the above table, we are ahead of last year with regard to total participating ST&BF Survivor-Athletes as well as total ST&BF Team Activity Points... but we are a little behind in those who have earned a spot on the team (by earning five points or more)! With ample opportunity to earn five points or more before the end of 2019... consider making a year-end commitment to ST&BF for a healthier Holiday Season! If you need a bit more incentive... continue reading!!!
