The Way We Worked Memoir Writing Recognition Ceremony BRASS and Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury have teamed to create “The Way We Worked: S t o r i e s f r o m G r e a t e r Waterbury.” This collection of stories is based on work experiences and memories from bus drivers to factory workers and bookkeepers to shop owners. Our “authors” come from our local community, including participants from each Senior Center in Waterbury. This lends itself with perfect timing with the Smithsonian’s The Way We Worked exhibit tours stopping at the Mattatuck Museum. 10:00am—12:00 pm Wednesday July 30 Mattatuck Museum

According to Helpguide.org exercising has some great mental health benefits. Improves sleep. Quality sleep is vital for your overall health. Reg-
ular activity can help you fall asleep more quickly, sleep more
deeply, and wake feeling more energetic and refreshed.
Boosts mood and self-confidence. Exercise is a huge stress reliever and the endorphins produced can actually help reduce feelings of sadness, depression, or anxiety. Being active and feeling strong
naturally helps you feel more self-confident.
Does amazing things for the brain. It can help brain functions as diverse as multitasking and creativity and can help prevent memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia. Getting active may even help slow the progression of brain disorders such as Alzhei-mer's disease
Fitness Fury present - Swing into Health Fitness and exercise trainer, Naida Rosado, is helping you swinging into the new year with a demo of her amazing program, “Swing in to Health” .
