A Matter of Balance Series Starts Feb. 6

The “A Matter of Balance” (AMoB) series; which is being copartnered by the Schulenburg Public Library, Fayette County Committee on Aging, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service of Fayette County, will be conducted starting Tuesday, Feb. 6.

The AMoB is a series of 8 twohour sessions which will be conducted each Tuesday and Thursday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. through Feb. 29 in the Schulenburg Public Library meeting room, 310 Simpson Street.

The AMoB program emphasizes practical strategies to reduce fear of falling and increase activity level.
