Taking Care of YOU is an eight-week MU Extension program offering practical strategies to deal with life\u2019s stress and understand the mind-body connection. Fridays at 12-1pm Sept 6-October 25, Room 226 Heinkel Building.\u00a0 Bring your lunch. Fee $30. Contact Amy Lake lakea@missouri.edu<\/a> 573-239-0654 to register.
