What a
wonderful and unique experience we shared. We started off with a
brown bag lunch in Queen Jill's clubhouse. Two new members
were introduced, Kathie Steele and Mary McGar, and they told
us a little about themselves. We then
went around the room telling the new members about ourselves.
Then Certified
Brain Fitness Expert, Susan Carres, arrived and talked to us
about the brain and the most effective ways to use and exercise our brains
to keep them sharp and how to keep growing new brain cells
(neurons). We did some
brain exercises, games, played a few instruments, and then did a little dancing.
Neuroscientists
know so much more about the brain now. We can keep growing new brain
cells until the day we take our last breath. In January of this
year, Queen Jill started taking Brain Fitness classes with Susan
at Elsie Stuhr Senior Center. Queen Jill's brain
has gotten sharper and her memory much better. When the spring term
started at the end of March, Vice Queen Linda Brown joined Queen
Jill in taking classes with Susan. We are
already looking forward to the summer class.
Girl Power and Brain
Power -- What a great combination!
A big THANK
YOU to Susan for sharing her brain knowledge and expertise!
