GBU members were challenged to get fit, even with a busy work schedule. This challenge provided members with micro-exercises they could do anywhere, even at their desk.
Micro-challenges included 60-second workouts like bicycle crunches, leg raises, push-ups, jumping jacks, mountain climbers and side planks.

Each year, we set aside time to deep clean and organize our homes. But when was the last time you set aside time to organize your finances?

Every child can name a teacher who made a difference: the one who stayed late to help, offered encouragement at just the right moment or made learning feel exciting. Recognizing a teacher’s dedication doesn’t require grand gestures, but it does call for intention. Thoughtful appreciation gifts, especially during Teacher Appreciation Week or year-end celebrations, offer a tangible way to express heartfelt gratitude.
