Great things are continuing to happen with the expansion of RSVP into Knox County. The very first Matter of Balance (MOB) class began on June 6 at the VNA in Galesburg. This session is being run on Monday and Thursdays throughout the month of June. What makes it even more exciting is that the class is being led by two new RSVP volunteers. Sharon and Linda are having a great time and they will not only be an asset to MOB but to RSVP as well. If you are interested in being a coach for upcoming MOB classes please contact Amye Bean at 309-428-5841.
