"Stuff Strategies Made Simple"

Do you have too much stuff? Have you been thinking for some time that you need to get rid of some of your personal items but just don't know where to start?

In her talk "Stuff Strategies Made Simple," area expert and Senior Move Manager, Marlene Stocks, will share practical insights on decluttering and organizing possessions that we've accumulated over the years and are now taking up too much mental -- and physical -- space.

Drawing from years of experience as the Founder of Senior Transition Services, Marlene presents easy-to-follow tips and strategies for downsizing and simplifying belongings, whether for a move or simply for a more freeing lifestyle.

Pizza & salad lunch provided to all who sign up by Wednesday, April 17.
