How many of us feel like we are traveling on a ship that is sinking a little more every day? Between work, no work, furloughs, layoffs, school, no school, kids, virus scares, constant upheaval, shifts in the market. How do we move forward? How do we recover and regain? Many were tied up with all these challenges in 2020 so it became the “Year of Stop Planning.” Now it is time to take back control in 2021.
In one hour, we will talk about the dangers of getting “stuck” in your financial stress and what you need to do to start moving forward again. Learn what stress and anxiety does to our wellness (physically, mentally and financially) and what we can to do now including reframing strategies like changing perspective and practicing gratitude, joyfulness and the 10 facets of resilience. Leave with tools that will refresh your spirit (and your pocketbook) and set you on a positive path back to normal.

The appearance, flavor, and texture of food are primary indicators of your customers’ purchase behavior and perception of value. While we have benchtop and inline systems to measure attributes such as color and moisture, many of us don’t know how to objectively measure our critical-to-quality sensory attributes. The course fee is $285/ each individual.
This course is not just another boring webinar. The Practical Sensory Program course is designed around a learn-and-apply model. Each participant will get a kit to have hands-on activities to reinforce the concepts learned. He or she will walk away with practical skills that can be applied immediately.

Landscaping for Fire Prevention will help forest homeowners modify their houses and landscapes to make them less likely to burn and easier for firefighters to access.
Forest fires are a fact of life in the Inland Northwest, and homes located on forested lands (the "wildland-urban interface") can be at high risk from forest fires. Although forest fires are not always easy to stop, you can reduce the risk of damage to your home.
Free; however, registration is required.
