Today's News

Pregnant women are given a lot of information about what changes to expect during the 40 weeks it takes to carry a baby to term. They are told they should maintain a balanced diet, continue to exercise, and that they can expect to gain 25 to 35 pounds.

With the ongoing emphasis on physical fitness and new bi-annual testing requirements, it's more important than ever for new moms to get back into shape after having a baby.

That is where health and wellness center officials can help. The staff at the HAWC makes continuous efforts to create innovative programs to cover practically every aspect of physical fitness improvement and injury prevention. One of the newest physical training programs was designed especially for new active-duty mothers.

After seeing her daughter off to junior prom, her daughter's friend expressed how much she would like to go, but didn't because her single father couldn't afford to buy her a dress. That memory inspires Myrna Smith, the owner of Myrna's Tailor Shop in Colorado Springs, to help as many women as she can.

She helps by giving away formal dresses, free of charge, to high school girls and servicemember's wives who otherwise cannot afford to buy a new one.

During the last few years, people have donated new and slightly-used dresses to help girls from the local community obtain prom dresses, so they won't miss out on an important event in a teenager's life.
