"It's time to put yourself first! Remember New Years, are you accomplishing the goals you set?" asks Shelly Argabrite, New YOU workshop presenter. "January is almost over and if you are like most of us, our lives are so busy that we get stuck just keeping things going." This workshop will address how to begin managing your life instead of reacting to it. A New You is for the energetic, action oriented person who is ready to simplify life and learn proven techniques that will help maximize the quality of life and discuss how to have more time for the things that are truly important to you.

The Wellness Center of Garrett County Memorial Hospital is offering the series titled, "A New YOU". A hands-on workshop will be held in the Wellness Center of the Community Aquatic and Recreation Complex at Garrett College beginning January 31 at 6:30 p.m.

The workshop will be led by Shelley Argabrite, M.A., a native of Oakland. She returns to Oakland bringing with her ten years of combined experience in the field of Wellness. She has a master's degree in Wellness Management from Ball State University and is an experienced health educator. "Take an evening for yourself, we will work together exploring the best parts of U in the content of the seven dimensions of wellness," invites Shelley.

The cost for the series is $25.00 per person. Those interested in further information or to register may contact Wellness at 301-533-4178 or 301-533-4295.
