Diet and Stress Talk Highlighted Bluefield Secretaries Meet
The April meeting of the Bluefield Chapter, Professional Secretaries International, at the Holiday Inn featured a diet and stress program by Mrs. Denny Gilger of the Diet Center. Attendees included Thelma Smith and Judy Whitlow, with introductions by President Charlene Meade. A sugar-focused demonstration equated carbohydrates to teaspoons of sugar, linking high intake to hyperactivity and fatigue. The gathering also announced new officers for the Trillium Garden Club, a plant sale, and upcoming PSI events, with women honored and a wine and cheese reception provided by the Holiday Inn.
