Crafting with colleagues can help you build social connections, decreases stress and anxiety, and helps improve self-confidence. Join a TD3 art teacher and enjoy a creative afternoon with your colleagues. Examples of previous projects include fall themed embroidery, watercolor greeting cards, and no maintenance desk plants.

Regular physical activity improves mood, helps manage high blood pressure, regulates sleep, and reduces risk of heart disease. Classes are led by your TD3 colleagues or donated by local fitness studios in our community. Classes may include yoga, Zumba, pilates, circuit training, group hikes, and POUND fitness.
