Marcellus Free Library plans April events
New! Town of Marcellus Parks and Recreation Department are offering an eight week Chair Yoga session at the Marcellus Free Library beginning April 5 at 10 am led by Diane Zarzeki.
Enjoy the benefits of yoga right from your chair! Learn simple movements that gently exercise each part of the body, including our breathing. These seated exercises build strength and flexibility so we become more mobile and confident. We also work on balance, standing and using the chair on a yoga mat as a steady support.
Sunday April 8 at 2 p.m.: Marcellus Historical Society hosts Peter Beratta, guest speaker. Pete retired from the New York State Police Department after 24 years as a Trooper and Investigator. He now owns Pete’s by the Park Barber Shop. Open to the public.
Tuesday, April 10 at 6 p.m.: “Stop the Bleed” Presented by the Trauma Department Staff of Upstate University Hospital. Register with Healthlink directly at: 315-464-8668. “Stop the Bleed” is a nationwide campaign to empower individuals to act quickly and save lives. No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. This can be useful in many situations including car accidents, camping injuries or any activity in which there is potential for injury and bleeding. Empower yourself and learn how taking simple steps might save a life! Space is limited and registration is required at 315-464-8668.
