April 17- "How to Win at Health and Happiness"

Wellness specialist Robynn Neirop will be reminding us about the importance of health and happiness. She will then lead a yoga class in the event room. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, and a water bottle (we do have a few yoga mats onsite).

April 24 - "Live Day by Day - Meaningful Mediation".

Audrey Isenor will be leading a discussion about elder mediation involving age-related issues. The private, informal, supportive and non-confrontational nature of mediation is particularly well suited to these types of discussions and to the older adults involved in them.
