HEALTH VIEWS- THE FLU AND YOU- Read this important post
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS FLU SEASON!
Each year in the United States on average, 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; on average, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications, and; about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes.

by Sally Deering
Â
Back in the 1970s, alumni from the Argos Eyes Drama Society at Saint Peter’s College met one night in a tiny Jersey City attic and talked about starting a theater where they could put on plays that challenged them artistically and attracted local audiences.
