RICHMOND — A new TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) chapter is forming in Richmond, with meetings planned for each Wednesday at the Umberhine Public Library, 82 Main St.

The inaugural meeting is planned from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2.

TOPS International area coordinator Rick Danforth, of Chelsea, will meet with the new chapter to set up its formation. TOPS is a not-for-profit weight-loss organization, so the dues will be nominal.
