Boost Your Brain on "Giving Tuesday" & All Year Long!

elebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, "Giving Tuesday" kicks off the charitable
season when many of us focus on our holiday and end-of-year giving. And according
to the book we talked about last month, Outsmarting Alzheimer's: What You Can Do to Reduce Your Risk by
Kenneth S. Kosik, https://www.meetup.com/Ladies-Making-a-Difference/
M.D., "... helping others and 'giving' is good for your brain!"
LOOK below. See the homeless mats that I and others across the country are crocheting out of
plastic bags. Yes. Those bags from grocery stores that CANNOT be recycled and are polluting
our oceans. It's fun to join a group making these mats. (See below-right.) Your brain will love it.
