Gathering at the Night Shift Beer Garden
The CommUnity Engagement Committee invites you to join us on Thursday, September 17 (weather permitting), across the bridge as we return to the Esplanade at the Night Shift Beer Garden to (re)connect with colleagues as we kick off the start of the Fall semester. Come join us for your beverage of choice and some great company.
Plan for the evening:
Meet at 5:00PM to walk over together
Or, meet us there if you’re coming later—we’ll grab a table and be ready to welcome you
Whether you stay for one drink or a while, it’s a great opportunity to get together and reconnect after the summer. There will be food trucks available, or the venue also allows you to bring your own food should you prefer.
For location details and additional information, you can check out the venue here.
We hope to see you there!
Summer Activity Challenges Update
Thank you to everyone who took part in our summer Activity Challenges! Across four months, this community brought energy, encouragement, and many different forms of movement to the challenge. We are wrapping up the monthly challenges, but we hope the experience has helped spark or strengthen healthy, sustainable habits that work for you. The challenges were never just about the leaderboard; it was about making room for movement and activities in ways that fit different abilities, interests, schedules, and goals.
As we head into the fall, we encourage you to keep the momentum going in ways that feel right for you:
Beacon-based employees: The Walking Group will continue through the fall as weather permits. Details shared below.
Other sites: Consider organizing your own informal walking or activity group, or friendly challenge with colleagues.
Employees enrolled in BCBS: Subscribers can download the Personify Health app to explore the wellness resources and benefits available through both the My Blue App and Personify. Subscriber benefits may include fitness reimbursements. Be sure to review details and reach out to HR if you have any questions!
Have an idea? Reach out to the CommUnity Engagement Committee if there is a particular activity or wellness-focused gathering you would like to see in the future.
Keep moving your way: Every form of movement counts! We all have different abilities and interests – staying active in the ways that work for each of us is the key.
