A head count was needed by this past Thursday. If you have not RSVP’d, please let Carroll know that you are attending.
No Meeting on July 4th
Please note that we will not meet on Tuesday, July 4th. We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend.

WELLNESS TIP
Give Your Diet a Berry Boost
If you do one thing this summer to improve your diet, have a cup of mixed fresh berries — blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries — every day. They’ll help you load up on antioxidants, which may help prevent damage to tissues and reduce the risks of age-related illnesses. Blueberries and blackberries are especially antioxidant-rich.
A big bonus: Berries are also tops in fiber, which helps keep cholesterol low and may even help prevent some cancers.
