*+++++** MARILEE JONES ON CCTV** * *+++++*

You might remember Marilee Jones from her great talk last October on 
"Less Stress, More Success." She is now talking to our seniors during 
Health Week (February 7, during Block B). In addition, there will be 
several opportunities to see her original presentation on CCTV. Parents 
might try to watch the program prior to Health Week so they can talk to 
their kids about this important topic---but her message is for all 
parents not just parents of Seniors. CCTV is offering it at a variety of 
times to try to accommodate everyone:
2/3/07  Saturday   8 a.m.  and 4 p.m.
