The Decatur Recreation Center is currently working on becoming LEED certified. One of the things required are completed transportation surveys from community members visiting the center the week of September 16 – 21. This short paper survey takes no more than a minute and asks what method of transportation you took to the center on that day.

Please take a minute to complete a survey and help us to become LEED Certified.

Schedule a Lunchtime Stroll

From our friends at #MoveItMonday!

Studies have shown that a lunch hour stroll can leave one feeling more positive and enthusiastic. And we know that workers who are more positive and enthusiastic are more productive. If we use the algebra logic we all learned in school: if A=B and B=C, then A=C, then we can deduct that a walk at lunch can increase your productivity.

Most people suffer a drop in energy and work output in the afternoon hours. A perfect remedy is a mid-day walk.

See our tips for fitting a walk into your lunch break.
