Stay fit: The Benefits of Singing 

According to Microsoft TakeLessons, the benefits of signing are many. Among them, singing helps to reduce stress, improve memory, increase lung function, and improve posture; it helps with sleep and is a natural antidepressant. Want to give it a try? The Mendon Minstrels Chorus will resume weekly rehearsals on Mondays, from 1–3:00 p.m. beginning January 23 at the Mendon Senior Center.
