Where: YMCA Community Hub – 805 W. Franklin St. Boise, Idaho 83702

When: Wednesday, January 15th, 10:30-12:00pm

Join us at the Community Hub for some time to reflect on 2024 and begin shifting our focus on 2025 and some areas we would like to spend more of our time on.  If you have never made a vision board, the idea is quite simple.  We create a poster of images gathered either from magazines, photos we have,  drawings, coloring, however to reflect areas we wish to focus on in the new year.  This can be a time for health and wellness goal settings, or personal goals you wish to achieve outside of the YMCA.  Vision boards create a nice visual for goals and is fun to do and work on with accountability friends.

Paper will be provided, please bring any craft supplies you wish to use along with any old magazines or articles for inspiration to look through and cut from.
