Mind mapping with Nerelie Teese

Hey, this is going to be super interesting.  Come along next Sunday to the Campaspe Regional Library, Echuca Branch to hear all about Mind Mapping with Nerelie Teese.  Doesn't everybody want to tap into the most powerful personal app - their brain!  Mind mapping is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unclock the potential of the brain.  It harnesses the full range of skills - word, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour and spatial awareness - in a single, uniquely powerful manner.  Mind Maps are the highest form of graphic organisers.  Mind maps enable you to; quickly recall and record known information/prior knowledge and quickly record new information in a logical and attractive way that supports retention.  The session kicks off at 2.30 on Sunday 7 April.  There is a small charge of $3 to cover maps and pens.  Bookings are appreciated.  We look forward to seeing you.  For more information please contact your nearest library branch.
