NOVAA Membership Monthly Meeting - April 16th

When: Thursday, April 16th
Time: 12:00 - 1:30pm
Where: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Kempton Hall

You Can't Manage Time But You Can Manage Many Priorities! You can't make time last longer, spend it faster or save it for later. But, you can mange yourself - your creativity, your energy, your communication, your outlook. Join LouAnne Tabada, Director of Volunteers for Special Olympics Oregon, as she takes you through a short assessment and relates the results to the key principles in Susan de la Vergne's book titled You Can't Manage Time But You Can Manage Priorities. We will also have a drawing and 3 lucky people will receive this book that the author generously donated!
