  • Join us on Tuesday, April 15 at 11:30 a.m. at the Person County Auditorium for our monthly Lunch N’ Learn focused on “Positive Thinking for Better Living”. Take a minute and think about what you have said to yourself today. Was it critical? Or was it kind and helpful? How did you feel after you engaged in this inner discussion? Your thoughts are the source of your emotions and mood. They influence your positive attitude. Come learn how to think more positively to live better. Cost is $5 to attend and is due to the Extension Office, Room 123 by April 11.
  • We’re excited to be part of the upcoming Community Resource Festival on Wednesday, April 16 from 10 a.m. -2 p.m. at the Vance-Granville Civic Center! Come visit our booth to learn more about the services and resources we offer to help support our community. We can’t wait to connect with YOU!
  • Let’s face it, most of us have at least one space (or several) that we’d like to have more organized. In fact, a recent survey about clutter found that 84 percent of Americans are concerned their home isn’t organized or clean enough. And more than half of them reported that it causes them stress. Tackling clutter can seem overwhelming and sometimes getting started is the hardest part. Join Jennifer Brown from the N.C. Cooperative Extension on Monday, April 28 at 10:45 a.m. at the Granville Senior Center in Oxford to learn some simple steps you can take to begin to tackle areas of clutter that may be bothering you. No guilt, just ideas!
  • Our next Diabetes Prevention Program is set to start in July. Starting Thursday, May 8 at 10:00 a.m., we will be hosting Information Sessions to help provide more information on this program and to see if you qualify. You only need to attend 1 session (and it does not commit you to anything). You will simply learn about what is involved with the next Diabetes Prevention Program that starts in July. If you want to learn more, register for one of our Information Sessions at   go.ncsu.edu/diabetesinfo or call (336) 597-2204 x2277.
