Author Event: Terry McGuire "The Last Letter" by Larry Reynolds
2024-01-06 10:00 - 11:00
If you would like to learn more about the stories and characters of the book “The Last Letter” by Larry Reynolds stop by this Saturday.
“Some people live life for the sake of living. For others, the prospect of dying forces them to engage in life, to take an unsure journey with a certain end. The Last Letter is the story of life, death, love, and mayhem, and two very different journeys toward the final breath. Author Larry Reynolds is thrust into the journey by the death at a young age of his long-time friend, Tracy McGuire. Tracy live life without regard to cost or consequences, stark contrast to the stable, predictable life Larry had chosen. Neither man wanted to accept his circumstances – those random moments that lead to answers to shimmering truths many of us keep buried deep within.
The Last Letter is a book of discovery that explains the different paths we take to arrive at a similar place – not death, but the power of life and the nuances and frailties that make us all humans.

HEALTHY AT HEART - HEALTHY HAPPY HOUR
2024-02-13 17:30 - 18:30
February is American Heart month and you’re invited to join us at this month’s Healthy Happy Hour as we share some healthy habits that can lower your risk of having heart disease.
Heart disease continues to be the greatest health threat to Americans and is still the leading cause of death worldwide, according to the AHA’s Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics.
An update, published in the association’s flagship journal Circulation, reports that nearly 18.6 million people across the globe died of cardiovascular disease in 2019, the latest year for which worldwide statistics are calculated. That’s a 17.1% increase over the past decade. And 523.2 million cases of cardiovascular disease were reported in 2019, a 26.6% increase over 2010.
In most cases, heart disease is preventable when people adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood sugar and cholesterol, treating high blood pressure, getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week and getting regular checkups.
It’s NEVER too late to make new positive and lasting healthy choices to make sure that you and those you love are NOT part of those statistics.
Let’s get together with others like yourself who are purposefully looking for healthy habits and healthy lifestyle choices that support our goals of living and enjoying a long and healthy life.
