Music in the Park
We will be at Music in the Park tomorrow Thursday, July 21st at 6:30pm serving lemonade in these cool color-changing cups! (Don’t worry, it doesn’t change your beverage color; just the cup changes color.)
Music in the park is at the Mora Library Park, on Wood St. and Maple Ave.
I think we already have enough employees volunteering for this event but we might be able to use extra hands-1-2 more people- to help serve. We will be serving from 6:30-about 7:15ish. Let me know if interested. Or just come on out and listen to some Bluegrass music and enjoy the evening!

WOW Tip – The Benefits of Meeting A Goal: Mental Toughness
Implementing a new healthy habit can be difficult. The first step is asking yourself if you are ready to implement a new healthy change. If you are motivated and ready to change, setting a goal is key to success. Creating a goal that you can work toward can be very helpful and provide a clear objective to strive for.
A benefit of setting and actually meeting a goal is the mental toughness or resilience that you develop along the way to meeting your goal; you find strength and determination that you did not know you had. This is typically from having a few setbacks along the way and needing to overcome obstacles in your journey. It also makes the thought of pursuing new goals not quite as frightening because you ‘been there, done that.’ It gives you an inner belief that you can succeed.
So, along with the great feeling of accomplishing something you set out to do, you will also gain mental toughness along the way.
It starts with setting a goal.
