Whole Foods vs Fast Foods Monday, January 11th at 7:30pm Join us for a special evening to learn about the differences between Whole Foods and Fast Foods. While fast food may be convenient, healthy food is better for maintaining your weight, getting the right amount of essential nutrients in your diet and keeping yourself healthy. You can even eat healthy for less than it costs to eat fast food with proper planning and some time spent preparing and cooking your food. The presenter is from Atlantic Health Systems. |

Monday, February 22nd, 1:30pm Mike Ivankovich is back with the very popular "What Its Worth" program. Mike will introduce you to “What Determines Value"…and reveal what your Antiques, Collectibles, and Personal Treasures are really worth today. Mike will begin with a 20-minute discussion on “10 Factors That Will Always Impact the Value of Your Treasures”. He will then immediately transition to the appraisal portion of the program, evaluating each attendee’s treasures, one-by-one. Proper camera positioning will be important because if Mike can’t see the item, he won’t be able to appraise it. Since he can’t actually see the item in person, he’ll probably ask a few questions about markings, condition, etc. Participants should have one back-up item for Mike to appraise. That way if he can’t virtually appraise the primary item, he can appraise the back-up item. We’ve seen that a Virtual Background can distort how an item looks so we will ask that Virtual Backgrounds be turned off when showing their items. |
