Event Description
The December 9 meeting of your North Central Florida chapter of AITP will be held a bit early, to minimize schedule conflicts with the holidays.
As usual our holiday topic is a little less technical yet one we think you’ll enjoy and find most useful.
Dr. Beree Darby will present and demonstrate “Psychoneuroimmunology”. Learn how to use the power of your own mind to help yourself feel better, more focused, and more energized.
RSVP by sending an email to reserve@aitp-ncfl.org
