Walk, Talk and Lunch With the Mayor
On May 17, the Mayor and Victoria Bartlett were joined by
Tulsans for a brisk walk through the Blue Dome district, followed
by a nutritious lunch at Dilly Deli, 402 East 2nd
Street. Citizens who were interested in jump starting their fitness
and nutrition program turned out for the healthy event aimed at
encouraging citizens to live healthy lives.
At the news conference, Mayor Bartlett said, "We've just heard
that the Tulsa Health Department and Family Health Coalition are
one of 15 grantees awarded a Communities of Excellence Nutrition
and Fitness Program grant through the Tobacco Settlement Endowment
Trust. This is great news for our community! Get Lean Tulsa is one
of more than 45 partners who will be developing a plan for this
nutrition and fitness grant, which will be aimed at promoting
healthy eating and physical activity."
Get Lean Tulsa is a communitywide health initiative which is
dedicated to encouraging healthy lifestyles for Tulsans. The Get
Lean Tulsa web site - www.GetLeanTulsa.com -
provides free online tools for citizens to keep track of their
daily fitness and nutrition activity. It is also a one-stop
location to find upcoming walks and runs, nutrition and fitness
tips, parks and trail maps, healthy recipes, and more.
