On Friday, March 13, starting at 6:00 p.m. Rebecca Fraser Douglass will present a talk on the benefits of sound healing. This will take place in the Community Annex at the Methodist Church. Fascinating topic for wellness.
This past week I went to Polished Dental located at 44 Mayville Road in Bethel. Tara Lunney Savage cleaned my teeth. She has a fancy camera and TV screen so you can see how your teeth look up close and personal. It was very beneficial and helpful. This is a great dental service where she can send the results of your cleaning to a dentist of your choice. Booking an appointment is easy and she can accommodate folks in a more timely manner. Recommend Polished Dental for dental cleanings, dental x-rays, dental sealants, in-office whitening, fluoride treatments, scaling/root planing, periodontal maintenance and full mouth debridement. Good to have dental services in our hometown.
The Bethel Library has several regularly occurring programs to keep in mind:
This upcoming weekend we will need to set clocks ahead one hour. Spring is on our doorstep. Mother Nature will begin to wake up from her winter slumber. Four seasons in Maine. You just gotta love it!
