Dear Friends: 
  
Spring has arrived! As we continue to hope for warmer weather, we look forward to a new batch of educational opportunities in the field of aging. Seats are still available for tomorrow's professional training "Safety First" about fall prevention in the elderly. We are also excited about the second program of our three part "Mind, Body, Spirit: Pathways to Improving Health" Educational Series. "Integrating Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Health" will take place just one month from now on Tuesday, May 4th.
