Letter to the Editor: No Foundation Without “U”

Editors Note: This letter is from the Chelsea Wellness Foundation. We’d like to publish your letter to the editor too. Click HERE for our letter to the editor policy. 

December 8th, 2014

If you received a copy of the 2014 Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation update last week, you may have noticed something peculiar. On the cover, the word foundation is missing a ‘u.’ While not by design, this simple typo provides CWF an opportunity to emphasize the importance of YOU. To our Community Coalitions, community members, wellness center members, program participants and programming staff the Board of Directors and staff of Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation say THANK YOU.

Without you, there is no 5 Healthy Towns Project. Without you, the membership, there are no wellness centers. There is no movement towards creating a culture of wellness within our communities. Without you, the Chelsea-Area Wellness Foundation is only a foundation.

With you 5 healthy towns is a vibrant model demonstrating what collaboration can produce. There is nothing to stop Chelsea, Dexter, Grass Lake, Manchester and Stockbridge – and all of you living within those school districts – from becoming the healthiest communities in the Midwest.

Thank U!

If you are someone who likes to be in the know, learn more about the great – and often FREE – activities happening within your community by following your local coalition and CWF on facebook.

We wish you well this Holiday Season. Happy, healthy New Year everyone.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
