Coloring isn’t just for kids…it’s relaxing and fun for adults, too! Carl Jung prescribed coloring to his patients to calm their minds, but the health benefits go beyond relaxation. Coloring is a structured activity and so it also activates the logic part of the brain, trains the brain to focus, and helps us exercise our fine motor skills.
Drop-in every 3rd Tuesday afternoon, starting at 2:00 pm for music and coloring.
We’ll provide a variety of coloring sheets, bookmarks, and colored pencils, but feel free to bring your own favorite supplies.
No…the instructions are not in the box. But we’re here to help you out!

Join Pamela Lyons, Queen of QuickBooks, for
an introduction to QuickBooks.
What is the best way to keep track of your money?
Should you use QuickBooks, and if so, which one?
Should you use Freshbooks (scaled down version for tracking your money)?
Should I do it myself? Or should I hire someone? And if so, who do I hire?
Pamela will walk you through the options for counting your money and keeping it:
Once the accounting is done, what to do with the results?
Hand it to your tax preparer? And who should that person be?
What is the difference between an Enrolled Agent and a CPA?
How to make sure your accountants are doing their job.
Is everyone talking to each other?
There will be time at the end of the presentation to ask questions about QuickBooks and your tax return.
