Roseville Lutheran Church Hosting Healthy Eating, Caregiver Support Workshops

Submitted by Sara Barsel

this spring is sponsoring two pilot workshop series for the community: Healthy Eating and Caregiver Support.  

The workshops will be taught by professionals with training appropriate to each workshop topic. These include a registered dietician/certified diabetes educator, a nurse practioner/diabetes specialist, a registered dietician/developmental disabilities and elderly specialist and an occupational therapist. Please join us for one or more workshops.

All workshops will be held at Roseville Lutheran Church, 1215 W. Roselawn Ave. Beverages and snacks will be served and there will be handouts, so preregistration is necessary for each workshop (651-647-9506). 

There is a $5 fee, payable at each workshop, to help cover the cost of handouts. Workshops are limited to 15 participants. If more people want to register, an afternoon session of the same workshop will be held on the day the workshop is scheduled (overflow session).
