fitALANYC & SUSTAINABILITY TEAMS – This past May, BP Cohn Reznick, hosted a Wellness/Nutrition Lunch and Learn with Rose Soto. Rose is an Integrative Holistic Health, Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and certified by Columbia University Teachers College and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She is the Founder & Director of Inner Nurturing Wellness and works with a medical private practice in NYC. Rose provided members with tips and information on improving health, reducing stress and preventing disease by learning how to make better diet and lifestyle choices at work and home, as well as coping with stress in the work environment, and finding balance in lifestyle. Rose’s presentation was so well received, we are planning another event with her later this year! Keep an eye out for these upcoming sessions: Dept. of Sanitation: Recycling Video Presentation; Lunch & Learn with Dr. Shockey: ‘Stay Fit While You Sit’; Office Yoga, and a Mindfulness/Meditation! We are also looking to include Dancing and Jeopardy in the 2019 Symposium lineup! Stay toned!

Also, in June, team fitALANYC & Sustainability, facilitated along with Law Firm Sustainability Network (LFSN), held our newly popular Second Annual ALANYC 10,000 Step Challenge. Six teams competed, and fiercely according to post shared on the Community Forum. The winning team was team STEPPING STONES, finishing strongly in 1^st Place with a total step count of 1,688,735! Congratulations to Lucy Shyti and her amazing team on a well-fought victory. Each participant received a $10 Starbucks or Amazon gift card. Coming in 2^nd Place, team SOLE MATES, who had a cumulative step count of 1,636,647, which gave STEPPING STONES a run for their money! 3^rd Place, team WALKING ON SUNSHINE, who had a last-minute surge that almost pushed out team SOLE MATES from their 2^nd Place hold. All teams accumulated an impressive step count of 1,344,778! Congratulations to all those who participated in the event. Lastly, a big round of applause to ANNA SCARPA (Vedder), who holds the highest single step count of the Step Challenge of 435,001! For her effort and determination, Anna received a $25 Amazon gift card. Here’s Stepping at You Kid! Special thanks to Nellie Lefteratos, Past-President for her assistance with the Step Challenge program and to Gayatri Joshi and Evan Barton of the LFSN for collaborating with us on this Challenge and helping us track our steps each day.
