Reserve a Meeting Space
Reserve a meeting space that will allow enough room for participants to sit comfortably and to
move around during physical activity breaks. The space should ideally allow access to a refrigerator
and kitchen area for some of the healthy eating sessions. Many churches and schools have meeting
areas that suit these needs. A person’s home may allow enough space for a small group. Reserve
the meeting space for 5 sessions (rather than 2) in case some sessions need to be postponed, in
case you feel the group would beneft from extra sessions for review, or in case the group decides to
divide Session 6 into three meetings instead of one.
