The year will feature Alpha Xi Delta’s Wellbeing Program. It is from Wellbeing, The Five Essential Elements” by T. Rath and J. Harter. Traditionally, Chicago North Shore starts its year with a salad supper, but not THIS year! It will be a Virtual Feast for social purposes; and when you choose your salad, consider your Physical Wellbeing! It is said that “Every hour of Social Time keeps stress away.”
