Cabin Fever 2020

Jan 9, 2020 | Events

Do you feel the lethargy that winter weather can bring on us all and, maybe, do you have that feeling of being pent up indoors? Can you see a weird change in the way that people – including yourself – function while getting along with something of a daily routine? Is winter’s colder, more inclement weather making your daily life (& moods) more difficult than when being on a beach vacation? If so, then, consider joining us by registering early for and coming to Mid-America Mensa’s Cabin Fever Winter Retreat Event scheduled for next month.

Do you want to show off your soup-cooking skills and get a discount on the event tickets? If so, please contact Susannah Sulsar. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a real ‘diagnosis’, not unlike hibernation, and it is not automatically or easily remedied. So, think of MAM’s Cabin Fever 2020 as your invitation to beat the winter blues, to get away and out of the funk you’re in, and to let your seasonal hormones know that you are thinking about them too!
