The Wiscasset Community Center is holding its second semester of "Wellness U" on Saturday, April 18. The subject is walking health and classes are centered around walking. Just getting out and walking can be an easy way to increase your wellness.

The event runs from 8 a.m. until noon. Classes range from core strengthening to protecting yourself from ticks by the Midcoast Lyme Disease Support and Education group. Members of the Wiscasset Ambulance Service will be on hand to take blood pressure readings and teach "hands only" CPR. A community walk will start at 10:30 a.m. and Healthy Lincoln County is participating with free pedometers for participants. There is no cost for this event.

WCC members can take advantage of a wide range of programs that are free to them as a part of their membership. For more information, go to www.wiscassetrec.com and click on the Wellness U icon or call 207-882-8230.
