Cedar Community: Life the way it should be. The way you want it.

WestBend– Cedar Community’s Cedar Ridge Apartments is hosting Overeaters Anonymous. There will be an open meeting to learn more about the program and what it has to offer on Monday, Nov. 14 from 4 to 5 p.m. in the private dining room at Cedar Ridge, 113 Cedar Ridge Drive, West Bend. The meetings are free but donations are appreciated.

Overeaters Anonymous offers physical, emotional and spiritual recovery for those who suffer from compulsive eating. Members follow a 12-step program patterned after Alcoholics Anonymous. Members who follow the 12-step program find that yo-yo dieting is a thing of the past and they no longer wish to return to compulsive eating. For more information or if you have questions, please contact Jeanne at 262.353.6161.

For 11 days, November 1 to 11, UCC-affiliated organizations across the country will express the UCC motto, “that they may all be one,” with a coordinated campaign to stock local food banks and participate in a collective advocacy effort for hunger-related justice.
