    BRAIN AND AGING STUDY GROUP MEETINGS

    By Kathleen Traci
    The PLVC Wellness Committee’s Brain and the Aging Study Group is meeting on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Bay Club from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Meetings are devoted to viewing and discussing the lectures from a Great Courses DVD about how to keep the brain active. Learn about age-related changes in how the brain functions. Members are encouraged to share journal articles about healthy activities for the brain with fellow members.
    There are no fees for group membership and the Bay Club’s non-member use fee is waived. Attendees should sign in at the Bay Club reception desk and select the PLVC Committee’s Brain and Aging event. Currently members are meeting in the Bay Club’s Conference Room.
    If you are interested in attending these Brain and Aging Study Group meetings, please contact Kathy Traci, 360-301-5378, or 437-7874 or tracipkt@aol.com.
