The Buddies meet Friday mornings for exchange of health information, a weekly weigh-in, a little good-natured bantering and lots of support.
Members will tell you this is not strictly a weight-loss club. Their focus is on health and healthful living.
These men and women begin their meeting by joining hands and reciting a traditional mantra, which creates a bond of support that helps individuals who are struggling with a health or weight issue.

If you look into the display cabinet in the SCGCC Craft room, you will find an Indian staring back at you.
He is carved from a single block of wood, and his chiseled features have the mark of a skilled artist. According to the craftsman, Bob Franza, the process is really the act of releasing the image that is within. A chip in an unexpected direction can influence the design.

The Craft Room at the Horizon Center exploded with color. Bright visors sported multicolored names, stars and flowers. The air tinkled with the sound of wind chimes as tiny hands attached clay butterfly figures to their own creations.
