December Brown Bag Discussion

The Multi-tasking, Over-busy,
Working Woman’s Holiday

In recognition of the holidays, the OHSU Center for Women's Health invites you learn about stress and do some shopping afterwards. Attend this month's free women's health Brown Bag on managing holiday stress at Nordstrom Downtown Portland from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, December 8.

No RSVP is necessary, but seating is limited so come early and bring your lunch. Or order a delicious lunch ahead of time at Nordstrom Downtown Portland Café on the 3rd floor and pick it up before you get on the elevator. See the menu >>.

Join us for our December Brown Bag on:
The Multi-tasking, Over-busy, Working Woman’s Holiday
Thursday, December 8, noon to 1 p.m.
Nordstrom Downtown Portland*
701 S.W. Broadway, 4th floor conference room
(accessible through Customer Service on the 3rd floor)

Jillian Romm, R.N., L.C.S.W., will talk about creating holidays that reflect the values most important to us, and offer tips and suggestions for a less stressful and more joyful holiday season. Only 28% of Americans find that their holidays are “joyful”. For most of us, the holidays have become another stressful and expensive time in our already busy lives. Join us for a discussion about this holiday season. Romm is an assistant professor obstetrics and gynecology, OHSU School of Medicine and OHSU Center for Women’s Health.

We will kick off the lecture with a drawing. Simply enter your business card at the door for some fabulous, invigorating prizes:

• A lovely gift from Nordstrom.
• A ticket to the Women's Health Conference 2006
