>FEBRUARY IS TALKING ABOUT SEX MONTH AT THE WRC!
>
>February 5, Thursday
>Living Large; Women of Size Discussion Group- 5p.m. WRC
>A bi-monthly group which provides a forum for women-of-size to discuss
>issues and experiences. Although the average woman in the United States is
>a size 14, many times a 14 is seen as "too big." Also, many times any size
>bigger than a 14 is considered to be socially unacceptable.  This group is
>designed to be a forum which celebrates women-of-size.  This is not a
>dieter's group or a 12-step style group.  It is for those women who
>self-identify as women-of-size.  It is for women who have to deal with
>society's treatment of them due to their body size.
>Meets first and third Thursdays
>
>February 10, Tuesday
>Lavender Lunch Hour, noon - 1 p.m., WRC
