The Weekly Update
A Newsletter from the Mayor's Fitness Council of San Antonio
From the Desk of Full Council Chair, Mandy Tyler
Greetings Mayor’s Fitness Council Members and Community Partners,
I hope each of you are healthy, safe and doing well. With the beautiful fall weather I hope you are finding opportunities to be active outdoors. I know I have enjoyed afternoon walks with my kids and our dog through the neighborhood. If you have not recently had the chance to visit the FitCitySA website, I encourage you to do so and review the updated information Bert Pickell provided on the SA Walks page. The website now provides helpful information on walking during COVID – so make sure to check out the information and be inspired to put on your walking shoes and enjoy the outdoors!

Please continue to follow the Mayor’s Fitness Council on all social media platforms and help us share the great work of our council and community partners.
Have a great week!
Mandy
