Just Move It NORTH DIRECTION events were scheduled from July 18th - August 5th and was held in 6 communities.  We had many people come out to different events and walk, run, or ride bikes.  There was many different age groups represented from the babies all the way to the elders.  Each new participant received a free tshirt and at some events there was health screenings.  People were also able to receive a stamp on their shirt to help them show where they have been and also they signed a thank you card that was given to the chapter to thank them for providing fruits and the place to host the event.  Participants who participated in 6 events received a JMI Cap.  Overall we had 2,871 participants with 1247 participants who attended 1 event and 1624 who came to 2 or more events, of this number 76 participants earned their JMI Cap for coming to 6 events.   At the 6 events we had new registrants and returning participants, at Cortez – Parque de Vida we had 231 participants (64 New, 167 Returning), Towaoc Wellness Center 304 participants (111 New, 197 Returning), TeecNosPos Chapter 428 participants (192 New, 236 Returning), Beclabito Chapter 459 participants (170 New, 289 Returning), Gadi’i'ahi Chapter 372 participants (125 New, 247 Returning) and Shiprock 1073 participants (585 New, 488 Returning).  Here are some picture from the different events.

            

 

The best part of the events was seeing so many people attending as families and getting out there and being active. People were excited to receive their next step incentive of a JMI Cap.

We have participants who come to more than one event during the summer and they can earn a next step incentive, which is a JMI cap, by coming to 6 events.





We plan on continuing JMI events in the community until the end of Just Move It in August, after those events we will continue with Keep On Movin' It events during the fall, winter and spring months.
