Thought for the month: Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.  J

The February Out to Lunch Group went to Luna Rosa Restaurant.  14 ladies were there. As always a good time was had by all.

The March Out To Lunch Group will not meet at a restaurant as a group for March.  Instead plan to attend the Spring County Luncheon on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at Zion Lutheran Church in Brodheadsville. Please let me know, immediately, if you plan to attend. Information following.

February Craft Meeting was at Pat M.s’ home. Ten ladies met to make Quilts for Kids. It was a VERY productive afternoon. We completed 9 quilts. They will be displayed at the meeting for all to see.

March Craft Meeting will be at Margaret K.’s house on Wednesday, March 17th at 1:00. Please contact Margaret if you plan to attend. The ladies will continue working on the Quilts for Kids project.

RSVP Volunteer Opportunities: Beginning their 20th year of service in Monroe County, the RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) is offering volunteer opportunities. The home-bound need phone calls and/or friendly visitors, meals delivered or grocery shoppers, done at your convenience! Schools need tutors, libraries need volunteer.

Hope you all received a call from a member of the nominating committee and decided to be an officer!! Please give this some serious thought because all positions are open.

More Feel-Good Tips from Walgreens and Good Housekeeping Magazine 2009

  • Your body needs sunlight to use an essential feel-good hormone called serotonin, which may lessen your cravings for sugar and other carbs.
  • Avocados are a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid, which has recently been shown to offer significant protection against breast cancer.
  • Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which promotes healthy skin and eyesight. You’d be wise to include carrots as a topping on your salad.
  • The pharaohs prized mushrooms as a delicacy. Today, we treasure them as a health food. Mushrooms provide an excellent source of potassium, which helps lower elevated blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke.
  • Drink a glass of water and eat an apple before each meal to help you feel full.
