Flourish

Happy Spring!

By Michelle Stizza

We have an exciting Spring planned that focuses on Health and Wellness, Food and Nutrition, and Financial Wellness including a Financial Book Club, and Food and Nutrition classes all designed to help you flourish For a Healthy You!

Spring is a time to refresh and focus on health and wellness.  The days are longer and the weather is warming up (and cooling down). It is a great time to embrace those new habits and routines such as spending time outdoors walking, biking, and gardening to help boost mental clarity and improve physical health.  I also like to spend this time planning recipes to try with the herbs and vegetables from our Kitchen Garden.

Santa Fe County is reaching out to seniors and caregivers regarding the future of senior services in Santa Fe County.  There are several Special Events as well, including a Health & Wellness Fair here at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds April 21st from 10:00-2:00.
 
 
The Survey:
The survey is open TODAY through April 25 and is available online at: Google Forms 
Please pass along to anyone who may be interested in participating in the survey.

Please continue to visit our website for the most up-to-date information.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
