Embark on a Wellness Journey

It ’ s time to get up and get active with the annual ARTA Wellness Challenge ! ARTA is dedicated to helping members lead active and vibrant lives in retirement , and that includes physical wellness . For some , a challenge might mean running a marathon , while for others , it ’ s enough of a challenge to take a walk around the block . The important thing is to be honest and meet yourself wherever you are in your own wellness journey . In 2021 , we challenge you to find an activity ( or activities ) you enjoy and commit to making time for it in your daily or weekly routine .
Who Can Participate ? All ARTA members of any age and skill level are welcome to participate in the 2021 Wellness Challenge . Those members who belong to a local branch will participate directly through their branch , and ARTA members who do not currently belong to a branch can submit their results directly to Jennifer Hope at the ARTA office by mail or by emailing jhope @ arta . net .
How It Works 1 . Starting April 1 , track your activity in minutes on the personal daily log sheets available at arta . net / wellness-challenge .
