Three-Session Class

Free- Senior Women Only

If you have issues with bladder or bowel control, you are not alone. More than half of women aged 50 or older experience urine or bowel leakage sometimes. The Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels/Healthy Bladder workshop is designed to give women the tools they need to take control of their symptoms. Scientific studies show that attending this workshop reduces or even cures symptoms for many women! Even if you do not have leakage symptoms now, it is never too early or too late to think about your bladder and bowel health. This workshop includes information, group activities and simple exercises to do at home. 

*Given the high demand for this class, we strongly encourage full attendance to help you get the most from the class experience. We understand that emergencies arise, but please try to prioritize your schedule so you can attend all three sessions for the full two hours. 

The History of Life on Earth               

Thursdays, January 29 and February 5 (Two-part Series)  

12:30 – 2:30 PM 

$3 Members / $5 Non-Members  

Presented by: Randy Schau  

During Earth's 5 billion years, it has been home to countless forms of life. Amazingly, 99% of that life is no longer with us, having long since gone extinct. Via 947 slides, this two-session class will explore many of those life forms, from the first bacteria to sea creatures like trilobites and Dunkleosteus, to the first plants and the amphibians that followed, then on to reptiles, culminating with dinosaurs!  Lastly, we'll deal with mammals, from the first mice to saber-toothed tigers to wooly mammoths, as well as the evolution of birds. Also discussed will be the five major extinction events, each of which wiped out nearly 80% of Earth's life, forcing a biological restart. If you're interested in what life preceded man, this class should be of interest! 

Call (269) 329-4555 to register.
