Writing Group Each one of us has lived a different life from everyone else, each of us has had experi-ences no one else has had, and you might enjoy getting together with others who are also thinking back. To write, if not the entire story of your life, at least to put down some memorable experiences, to see how perhaps they add up to a whole.
Or you may have a totally different reason for writing something, maybe a different story, maybe a poem. Any-body up for a writing class?
See you Tuesdays at 10:00am.
Tia Chi
Tia-Chi is a doctor-recommended form of exercise/stretching. It has many health benefits: increases flexibility, lowers choles-terol, retards Alzheimer’s Disease and im-proves blood flow. Also, it improves focus, concentration, invigorates the brain, lowers blood sugar and helps eliminate stress.
Studies show people taking Tai-Chi reduce risk of falling by 48%.
Join us Wednesday mornings at 9:45am with Darci Bobb
