Looking ahead to the rest of your Friday:

SMOOTHIE BAR/HEALTH TALK: 3 pm, The Kenney (WSB sponsor) invites you to visit:

Do you have a magnesium deficiency? Common symptoms of low magnesium levels include kidney and liver damage, migraines, restless leg syndrome, osteoporosis, insomnia/trouble sleeping, tooth cavities, and muscle weakness and cramps. Fitness Coordinator Bella Jovan will discuss the symptoms to be aware of, and explain how to get the accurate amount of magnesium needed for your body. You’ll also get to sample a magnesium–rich (and delicious!) Cacao Cherry smoothie.
