Sleep Well: @Parallax


6a1bbbf2 a75d 6176 39c2 9696c7012e10

Don’t sleep on this one — our annual Power Lunch at Parallax sold out last year. Sponsored by Mammoth Hospital, on Tuesday, March 17, Dr. Steve Kirtland will dig into what “normal” sleep really is, what disrupts it (hello early powder mornings and busy seasons), and how better rest impacts focus, mood, and overall health. It’s a very Mammoth topic — paired with a great lunch at Parallax. >>> Click here to register

Career Compass Needs You 

The Mammoth Lakes Chamber organizes the Career Compass Workshops and Job Fair at Mammoth High School each spring, and we’re looking for volunteer speakers. Help our local students build essential career-readiness skills — resume writing, interview skills and soft-skills, and completing new-hire tax and financial documents. Investing in local youth is one way we strengthen our future workforce. If you can help on one of the following days: March 30, 31, or April 1 in the morning, for approx. three hours, get in touch. We provide the curriculum and you the know how. >>> Click here to email us
