7:30 pm
Community Hall
During "Carolina Birds, Buds
and Bugs," Jim Tobalski will
share photography and stories
from his hikes in Carolina national parks, state parks and our
national wildlife refuges. Too often people only "ooh" and "ahh"
at our state's beautiful mountains, waterfalls and scenic vistas.
But Jim is also fascinated with the smaller things in nature that
represent incredible beauty and keep our environment balanced.
He loves birds, butterflies, insects, wildflowers and about
anything that moves in the great outdoors. His presentation
includes photos from the Smoky Mountains to Charlotte to the
ocean shores of South Carolina.
After he retired, Jim started writing part-time for travel
websites and contributes his photography to organizations
devoted to preserving nature and wildlife. He specializes in
national parks, the Caribbean and our environment. Jim considers
himself a perpetual student of the outdoors and he has presented
on ten different topics to independent and assisted living
audiences, the first time to his father’s senior community.

From Lincoln Center Theater that
brought you The King & I and South

Director Bartlett Sher’s glowing production is

a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a
linguistics professor who is determined to transform
her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really
being transformed?

Topic: “Winter Wellness and Nutrition”
There are no magic diets
or nutrition supplements for
the challenges of
winter! Colds, viruses, and flu bugs are
lurking around every corner… What is our
defense? First -
eat a good
balanced diet with
plenty of vitamin
C foods. Second –
add a dose of
exercise on a
sunny day! To learn more defense tactics:
join Kathy for “Lunch and Learn” where
she will go into more detail on nutrition to
combat winter germs! Hibernation is not
the answer!
