Stressed Out

Since I have a job that involves a lot of deadlines the stress ebbs and flows. The closer we get to deadline the more the stress level ramps up. Most lives are like that -- ebbs and flows of stress. So do you have trouble dealing with the stress? If so, you can learn how to deal with it at "Managing Stress the Healthy Way" presented by Diakon's Jenny Wagner. She'll cover physical effects and warning signs of stress, finding solutions to stressors and healthy stress management techniques.

You have two opportunities to attend the presentation both from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. The first will be on Thursday, January 26 at the Mahanoy City Senior Community Center, 138 W. Centre Strett, Mahanoy City. If you miss that one, stop  the Schuylkill Haven Senior Community Senter, 340 Haven Street, Schuylkill Haven on Tuesday, January 31. For more information about either date, call 570-624-3017.

If you want to support your local library, stop by between now and February 8 to order a Deppen Pie at $10. Pies will be delivered on February 22. The following libraries are participating: Ashland, Frackville, Orwigsburg, Port Carbon, Pottsville, Ringtown, Shenandoah, Tamaqua, Tower-Porter, Tremont and Tri-Valley.
