Third Thursday Meet-up
Thursday February 20th, 2025 was our monthly “Third Thursday craft day”.We painted kindness rocks as our group project for February. The purpose of the Kindness Rocks Project is simple, to cultivate connections within communities and lift others up through simple acts of kindness. The Kindness Rocks Project began in 2015 when Megan Murphy of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, started leaving inspirational messages on rocks. The project started as a way to help others going through difficult times. The mission of the Kindness Rocks Project is, “One message at just the right moment can change someone’s entire day, outlook, life”.
All are encouraged to join us during next month’s Third Thursday craft day (3:30-5:30 pm @ The Matt Garcia Foundation Office).

What actually causes high cholesterol? - Hei Man Chan
Travel into the digestive system to learn about cholesterol, and find out what the difference is between LDL and HDL cholesterol.
--
In 1968, the American Heart Association made an announcement that would influence people’s diets for decades: they recommended that people avoid eating more than three eggs a week. Their reasoning was that the cholesterol packed into egg yolks could increase cardiovascular disease risk. So, what exactly is cholesterol? And is it actually bad for you? Hei Man Chan digs into this complex molecule.
Lesson by Hei Man Chan, directed by Igor Ćorić, Artrake Studio.
