I know that summer has not officially begun, but you know how it goes.  Before you know it the leaves will be turning!  Again.  Don’t groan, you know it’s true.  But there is more to look forward to than cold weather.  Starting in September, Henry Ford Health System will be beginning a new series of Menopause Support Circles.  We will continue to offer them monthly at 4 different southeastern Michigan sites.  We have selected topics which our past participants have suggested so we know they will be of interest to you.  Take a gander below at what we will be covering at our fall meetings.  Enter the the dates in your Blackberry or scribble them into that little Hallmark calendar with the curled corners kept in the bottom of your purse but mark it somewhere so you don’t forget.   Attend any or all and be prepared to be informed, entertained, validated and fed.   Please RSVP at 1-800-HENRY- FORD.  For more information on meeting locations and specific dates, click meeting details on the left or go to Menopause Support Circles page.
