Project APPLE is hitting the road again!

Please join us as we hit the road again bringing programs on health and wellness to a location near you! Register on CLeO today!

April 1 - 1:15-4:15 pm at Bloomington Public Library
April 1 - 6-9 pm at Alliance Library System, East Peoria
April 2 - 9 am-12 pm at Galesburg Public Library
April 10 - 1-4 pm at Beardstown Houston Memorial Library
April 10 - 6-9 pm at John Wood Community College, Quincy

This month’s program includes the following:

INTENTIONAL HARMONY
The stresses of out-of-the-home work and the needs of personal and family life can have serious effects on emotional and physical well-being and on relationships with family members. Participants will receive hand-outs and develop personal strategies, leaving the session with a personal plan to minimize the effects of stress spilling over from work to personal life.

INTERPRETING FOOD LABELS
Deciphering the food label can be confusing at best. We will dissect the label and look at terminology used on the label such as % Daily Value. Labels and the Nutrition Facts Label are valuable sources of information for the consumer. Sodium, carbohydrate, and fat will be emphasized.

Any staff member or volunteer of an Alliance Library System member library can attend the educational seminars, regardless of their participation in the tracking program.

All attendees must register on CLeO, though, so sign up today! (Unfortunately, programs without at least 5 people registered will have to be canceled. Any registrants will be notified email through CLeO.)
