Robin Ruda, United Way co-ordinator in Hospitality Services, recently issued a challenge to members of the University community to lose weight while supporting the United Way campaign, and almost 90 people answered the call. Nine teams weighed in Nov. 15 on the scale at the OVC Large-Animal Clinic, including the Fat Bastages, who work for Hospitality Services in the University Centre. In front, from left, are Jackie Clark, Julie Richard, Rob Elson and Nicole Perkins. In back are Josh Geilen, Mike Tonin, Ian Camilleri and Nick Rao. Missing is Paul Osborn. Their combined weight was 1,895 pounds, but they'll be shedding as many pounds as possible before the final weigh-in in February. The team that loses the most pounds wins a dinner party hosted by Hospitality Services volunteers. Photo by Mary Dickieson
