Our volunteers were here bright and early in the parking lot of the Dallas Urban League greeting the students, talking to parents and collecting permission slips.

The EDGE/100 Fellows SHAPE Workshop was a wonderful success. The morning started with a tour of Life Time Fitness then we all sat down for an informative talk on how good health and fitness impacts your personal success. The EDGE Fellows learned about proper nutrition, calorie intake, the famous freshman 15 lbs and how to make good dietary choices in college. They then participated in team based physical training and a competition. We wound the day up with a tasty and nutritious meal of organic chicken and vegetables. It received a thumbs-up from everyone.

We would like to express our thanks to the Ken Bisel and the staff at Life Time Fitness. They were more than accommodating. The students commented on just how beautiful the facility is and how helpful and friendly everyone was. We are looking forward to another event at Life Time. If you haven’t been there, you have to see it to believe it.

Many thanks go to our Urban League of Greater Dallas Young Professionals and Kevin Allen of Citigroup. You were phenomenal with the group. Our events function well because of you!
