We all have STUFF! Why do we acquire and save more possessions than we need? What happens when our stuff starts to own us? Why can’t we just throw things away?
With his upbeat and unique approach, Dave Downs explores the many reasons that our drawers, closets and garages get filled with STUFF.
Downs offers helpful hints for managing this difficult problem. He uses colorful stories throughout the talk to engage as well as inform the audience. You may recognize a part of yourself in these stories!
Participants will leave knowing that if we are thoughtful about what we acquire, what we keep and what we discard, we will start to reverse the tendency to bury ourselves and our “treasures.”
Call the Library now at (401) 333-2552, x 2 or register online (below) to reserve a seat for this useful program! Here’s a look at Dave’s Web site…
