You'll See Less of the Kearney Staff this Summer!

April 27, 2012

Starting May 1st, MCPL employees will shake the winter blahs and get back to being the lean, mean, book slingin' machines you know and love. You’ll see less and less of us because we’ll be shedding our cold weather baggage one step at a time in a system-wide effort to improve our health (and lower our insurance rates).

MCPL’s insurance carrier has provided an online system to help us keep track of every step we take. We’ll compete both individually and with the other 29 branches to see who can walk the farthest by June 26th.

The Kearney staff won this challenge two years ago, and we’re set to win again! Prizes galore are promised as incentives, but the real motivation is team work and the great body-buzz that comes from getting back into shape.

So cheer us on or, better yet, join us! Set a goal – walk twenty minutes every day, ride a bike, or take a swim! Step-up your exercise during May and June. Then, come in and let us know how you’re doing.

We’d love to see less of you too!
