Events often reflect the theme of the month, one or more of the Healthy Boiler Pillars of Wellness, or the monthly challenge. Attendees may register to win gift giveaways when available.

      Handmade Gifts

      Invite your friends to join you for an hour of fun where you can talk, de-stress and relax as you learn how to make handmade ornaments at the Employee Well-being at Work event presented by employee health coach Lindsay Bloom. Come any time between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., but please allow an hour to complete all the crafts.

      Making handmade crafts—either as a gift or for yourself—can be calming and help you de-stress. Handmade gifts show that you spent time to make a specific gift for someone special to you. Plus giving to others, whether it is through a gift or your time, activates the "feel good" hormones in the brain.

      This workshop is limited to 25 participants. Learn more and register using the link below.
