Main St.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence became interested in hearing loss at age 11. Her brother was deaf, and there were not many resources to help him. Lots of finger spelling and hard work showed her the need for much more.<\/p>\n<p>About 2 years ago, Lawrence purchased the office in Mancos, as well as the Beehive. (Drop in there for extraordinary facials and other personal programs). She works on speech and hearing here and out of state. When a veteran approached the VA\u2019s Choice Program,(an insurance program) and told them about her, they called and she signed up immediately, and is now an audiologist for all veterans, saving them that tedious trip to New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Veterans must first contact Rick Torres, the Montezuma County Veterans Services. His phone is 970 564 2779.  The office is at 107 N. Chestnut. Torres will then refer you to Dr. Christine Lawrence, Mancos.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t that wonderful news?<\/p>\n<div class=\"naviga-element naviga-subheadline1\">Mini club<\/div>\n<p>The Four Corners Miniature Club meets every other month at the Mancos Public Library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the other month at the Senior Center in Cortez. You must have seen the fairy gardens that are all the rage, come and see their \u201cfairy\u201d houses. Each meeting is a learning experience \u2013 this month, they will be making teddy bears and roses for Mothers Day, at the library. (I think the roses are for Mother\u2019s Day, the bears are just for fun.) Members pay $10 a year. Bring your lunch. It is a very informal group, and all seem to enjoy themselves. Any age may join \u2013 if you can handle a pair of scissors and a pot of glue, you\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n<div class=\"naviga-element naviga-subheadline1\">Tuesdays in Mancos<\/div>\n<p>Yin Yoga at the \u201cUnfolding Moment Studio, at 7 am.
