Another new offering is Self-Care for Caregivers (page 26), taught by Wellness Coach, Christine Gilmore. This workshop will give you strategies to avoid stress and burnout while caring for someone else.

Last, but certainly not least, we have an awesome line-up of Arts and Culture programs for you! Join us for Night Out at the Theatre to see Incognito on April 4. Our author series continues with Yousef Bashir on May 5, and our film series continues with Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel on June 28.

The Passover Series - Shlomo Katz, Polish/Israeli, 1937 - 1992

Born in Lodz, Poland, Shlomo Katz immigrated to Palestine when he was eight years old in 1945. Katz developed an original technique of oil painting on a gilded metal surface. The result recalls medieval icons on the one hand, and oriental miniatures on the other. These ancient resources combine to form a totally modern image with a light humorous touch and a noble character. The metallic inks of the golden tones and the importance of absolute registration presented just a part of the challenge, but the Katz serigraphs became the ultimate in modern printmaking.

Exhibit on display April 8 -16

Arts, Culture + Education

Many of us suffer from inefficient breathing patterns. We feel like we can't get enough air and the usual suggestion, "take a deep breath" doesn't seem to help. In this workshop, we will examine our breathing habits and begin to restore natural patterns so we can breathe and feel better. Attention will also be paid to posture and movement as we breathe.
