BREAST CANCER INFORMATION
Breast cancer runs in my family so when I saw this in our paper I wanted to pass it on. I have a teenage daughter too.

Student Summer Jobs – Calling All TeensÂ
Parents of teens – listen up. College kids will be coming home next week so if your teen wants a job have them start looking now. Here are some tips that were published in the business section of our local paper:
Ask friends, teachers, family, neighbors, people at your church, any one you know. Also go out and look for help wanted signs. Many stores post them in their windows.
Talk to the high school guidance counselor. Employers and alumni often contact them when they have teen-appropriate job openings.

Memory loss is a natural part of aging but doing brain exercises can slow down the process. Here are some suggested brain exercises from Dr. Simpson:
Sudoko or crossword puzzles
