<strong>FAUSA</strong>'S VIRTUAL ACTIVITY GROUPS<br />
<strong>FAUSA</strong> In Motion<br />
<strong>FAUSA</strong> in Motion is a virtual group created to encourage members to get out and move and take<br />
advantage of the many benefits you gain from being physically active. It all started with FAWCO’s<br />
Clubs in Motion initiative to encourage members to stay physically fit and connect with FAWCO<br />
friends.<br />
FAWCO collects data from club activities that involve movement. To partici-pate in the FAWCO<br />
initiative, <strong>FAUSA</strong> collects data one day each month and all activity recorded on that day is submitted<br />
to FAWCO for their tallies. While there were not many group activities during the pandemic, we can<br />
also record data on any date when 3 or more <strong>FAUSA</strong> members are active together and we hope<br />
groups will start recording their active miles too!<br />
In 2022, <strong>FAUSA</strong> in Motion received a total of 107 individual reports of activity including walking,<br />
hiking, running, golfing, swimming, kayaking, biking, dancing, aerobics, pickleball, sightseeing.<br />
Twenty-three members representing 11 states participated in the program with an average of 9<br />
participants per month. The month with the fewest participants was January, with only 4 reports<br />
totaling 32 miles. The months with the greatest number of participants were March and May with 13<br />
members reporting 70.4 and 65 miles respectively. For the year, <strong>FAUSA</strong> in Motion participants<br />
recorded a total of over 555 miles of activity.<br />
Mid Fits Group<br />
Mid Fits meets monthly via Zoom on the second Tuesday at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central. We are a social group of <strong>FAUSA</strong><br />
members who live in the center of the country and not close to a larger group of members. We chat about <strong>FAUSA</strong>,<br />
family, travel, and other topics of mutual interest. It has been a great way to make new friends with similar experiences.<br />
<strong>FAUSA</strong> Makers Craft Group<br />
The <strong>FAUSA</strong> Makers crafts group meets every two weeks to craft and chat. Each of us works on and shares her own<br />
project; projects include knitting, needle point, scrapbooking, paper crafts and quilting. Any creative endeavor is<br />
welcome!<br />
