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 (</font><font color="#000000">February 7, during Block B</font><font
color="#000000">). 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:<br>
2/3/07 Saturday 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.<br>
