Don't Weight to Lose is holding a new and improved session starting on Saturday (Jan. 16) that is open to all Tulane employees and alumni.

The free weight-loss and health-improvement program is beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church, 2515 Franklin Ave. Participants must sign up ahead of time. Space is limited.
