Reenergize in May with TIC-TAC-TOE

Spring is in the air,  the days are getting warmer, it’s time to get active!  Let’s have some fun with a classic game of TIC-TAC-TOE with a “healthy twist”.  You can start by attending a few Lunch & Learns, try our fitness challenge or participate in Cigna new RecoveryOne program.   These are just a few ways for YOU and dependent-covered spouses to get involved and reenergize.

Playing TIC-TAC-TOE is nice; playing TIC-TAC-TOE  with a prize is even better!

All you need to do is participate in at least THREE activities listed on the card that are related to wellness during May until you get 3 items in a vertical, diagonal or horizontal row; then you got TIC-TAC-TOE!

If you are really ambitious fill up the whole TIC-TAC-TOE card to enter into a special grand prize.

Turn your card in by Friday, June 3, 2022 or once you achieve TIC-TAC-TOE,  and then receive your prize and be entered into the grand prize drawing. Sounds simple? It is! Plus you get to do something healthy for yourself. 

Those who submit their TIC-TAC-TOE card will receive a Stasher Go Bag.  Life is an adventure, and the Go bag is down for the ride. Designed for everything from trail to town, the handy clip keeps essentials at your fingertips, while also keeping them dry and protected, thanks to the patented Pinch-LocTM seal. The Go bag is perfectly sized for all your need-to-have-right-nows, like your phone, sani wipes, dog bags, kiddo gear, and more. The best part? Each bag helps keep single-use plastics out of our oceans and waterways. Go you!

Sounds fun, let PLAY.

Don’t forget to report this event on your Health Reimbursement Account under “Participate in County Sponsored Fitness or Wellness Program.”

Make a difference by giving blood, platelets or plasma at our annual blood drive.

Come to give blood, platelets or plasma between April 19 & May 19, 2022, and Red Cross we’ll say thanks with a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of your choice. Plus you’ll also automatically be entered for a chance to win a new travel trailer camper that sleeps eight.

If you are unable to attend the May 18, 2022 Blood Drive attend one of the other Blood Drives happening in our area during May.

or

We totally understand if you can’t or don’t want to give blood. That is why we have added an alternative solution, perform an “act of kindness” by giving a donation to our Currituck County Animal Shelter.

There are several ways you can help our Animal Shelter to get your Tic-Tac-Toe credit. You can do one of the following or all of them, just:

• Volunteer 30 minutes of your time
• Donate $10 in Supplies – check our supplies list for items the Shelter always needs or go to the Shelters Amazon Wish List.
• $10 Gift Card – one good source is Tractor Supply.

Doing nice things for others boosts your serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of satisfaction and well-being. Like exercise, altruism also releases endorphins, a phenomenon known as a “helper’s high.”
