ASK THE EXPERT: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MEDITATE?
Meditation is a hot topic these days, but what does it really mean, and how does it help?

We put those questions to Jim Gilley, an iRest Yoga teacher and longtime student of meditation.

Jim will present an iRest Yoga workshop on Wednesday, April 17, 6-7:30pm . Learn more and sign up here .



FACES OF HOPE: THELMA STARR
April is National Volunteer Month, so it's the perfect time to recognize longtime volunteer Thelma Starr.

Thelma has been volunteering for CSCVVSB almost as long as it's been open!

Read her story and find out how many times she's been the Holiday Homes Tour Entertainment Chair. Hint: It's more than you can count on both hands.
