No experience is necessary and all materials are provided. Come ready to learn, meet new people, and discover why Mahjong has become one of today's most popular social games! Attendees are welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks (no alcohol permitted at our space). Cost includes a playing card to keep ($15 value)

Is it Perimenopause? What Every Woman Should Know.

Guest speaker: Dr. Ashley Caravelli

Many women spend years wondering why they suddenly feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, aren't sleeping well, or can't lose weight despite doing everything "right."

 

This talk will help women understand what changes are normal during perimenopause, which symptoms are commonly overlooked, when hormone therapy may be appropriate, and what evidence-based options exist to help them feel like themselves again. There will be plenty of time for questions at the end.
