Fitbit Winner

Roberta won the Wisteria Place Fitbit Contest. She lives on Vancouver Island. Her husband took a photo of her and her Fitbit at Ogden Point on a very cold, crisp day by the ocean. She said “Good for my 10,000 steps. I'm enjoying my Fitbit; lots to learn.” Safe to say she loved the prize and the fitness and learning challenges from it!
