SUMMER'S HERE...KEEP COOL & CARRY ON!!
This course is very informative and offers another support network for those affected in some way by chronic conditions.
Sarpy Cass Health Department is happy to announce we will be offering a LivingWell with Chronic Conditions Workshop this summer, Wednesdays, July 9, 16, 23, 30 August 6, 13, from 10 am-12:30 pm at Sarpy Cass Health Department, Cass County Office, 201 Main St, Louisville, NE 68037

https://nalhd.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bO3XzVCx8miB3f0
Pre-registration REQUIRED
The workshop provides participants with tools to better navigate life’s “ups and downs” and increase their health knowledge. Research confirms that participants experience significant, measurable health improvements and quality of life. Mutual support and success build the participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active and fulfilling lives.
Living Well workshops use an action-based approach. Each week, you try out ideas and skills to find answers that work in your own life. The results? An individualized plan and a new sense of control over your health and your life.
If you have any questions, feel free to email Paige Castle, HealthEducator: pcastle@schd.ne.gov

In these tough financial times, we sometimes feel like we're so stretched ourselves, that we don't see how we can help others, too. Here's one of the easiest ways that will help immensely. Save aluminum pop-top rings from drinks! The Ronald McDonald House in Omaha uses them to help pay their electric bill each month! Because pop-tabs are smaller and easier to store, they cannot accept the entire can. Just be sure to recycle the cans, as you do your other recyclables.
Simply remove the tab off of your drink cans, give them a quick rinse, and drop them into a disposable, recyclable container such as a clean peanut butter or mayonnaise jar, oatmeal container or box. If you're out and about, drop them in your purse or pocket until you get home. If you own a business, encourage your employees or customers to drop that pop-top in a designated container, too.
If you are part of the Thanks A Million club, please make sure you mark your tab container with the name of your group and when you have a large amount, give them to your club organizer or coordinator, or just drop them off at RMH, at 620 S. 38th Avenue, Omaha. If you or a friend works nearby, arrange to take them. Click HERE to learn more.

Just by adding a few of the items listed below to your shopping list and picking them up, you'll be helping someone in a big way. Keep in mind that some of the children are very young and are possibly 'preparing' their own meals, so easy-to-open containers are a good option for little hands.

Dear Readers,
We want to build an online history about Murray.
Please submit any information you might know about our town to start creating this project.
If you own a business, let us know when you started and any informaton about the building and/or business located there before yours. Do you know the little gray building, CJ's Hair Salon, on Main Street used to be an ice cream shop? Do you also know that the Murray Christian Church used to be located just east of the Murray Repair Shop? In the early 1900's Murray's Main Street was devastated by a fire. Have you heard any information about that time that's been passed down from your ancestors?
You can also send information about your house - when it was built and any background about it. Was it one of the first homes in town? Is it haunted? What do you know about it? There's a little house in town that used to be the old railroad depot! Do you know where it is now, or that the old Murray Elementary School's mascot name was the Mustangs?
Any information would be helpful. Please send photos, too, if available! Photos should contain people's names and location and any other helpful information. This should become a fun, educational and informative piece of history that will continue to grow, and one that we're all building together! Thanks for your help!
Email your information to:
