Wa-Rite Club The Wa-Rite Club achieved a major goal last week when a member reached the top award, doctor of goal weight. Maura Coates earned that award at the July 24 meeting and must now maintain it within three pounds.

Debbie Worden was loser of the week after dropping three pounds. Kathe Weber lost five pounds, in two weeks.

The Harvard’s Women Health suggests keeping a bottle of uncoated low dose aspirin (325 miligrams) in case of heart attack or stroke. The aspirin should be chewed before swallowing.

Some physicians suggest that people routinely take one (325 mg.) aspirin daily unless they are on a blood thinner or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Consult a doctor before starting an aspirin regimen.
