[TIDEWATER COUNCIL]

 
Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA)
 
Hi all,
Keeping physically fit is an important lifestyle choice.  No matter your current status, there are always to improve yourself or just maintain.
Any way you look at it...its a personal challenge.
This is why we must challenge ourselves whether we will pursue or not pursue this program.
Will it be the road not taken?
Or the road to fun and health?
Here is some basic information to get you going.
First, anyone can apply for this program...all they have to do is log in and start going!  You can do it on paper but if you do it electronically, we can see how we are doing as a team.
Here are some places to go look at:
First here is the general information page.  This is the first page you should go to.

We challenge the adults to be just as active as the kids!
