enjoyment and edification:

intermediate-level JAWS features and functions. 

 

Fitness and Wellness Warriors with Lily and Caitlin - Wednesday, April 22,
from 1PM to 2PM EDT. 

Due to all of us being stuck at home during this difficult time, it is
important to boost our immune system and make sure that we are still getting
some exercise. During this fitness and wellness session we will be talking
about ways of how to boost the immune system, and about how to take care of
our mental and emotional health. We will be doing brief workouts,
meditations, and yoga over Zoom.  I have learned a lot of these techniques
during my college years of taking integrative health care courses.

 

Coffee with guest host Jason, standing in for Emily - Wednesday, April
22,from 2PM to 3PM EDT.
