Decluttering for Fun and Profit

Declutter. That's one of the first things your Realtor may tell you before listing your home for sale.

But if you -- like so many people -- have held on to those special issues of Ladies Home Journal from 1983, every piece of art your now-adult children created in Kindergarten and empty bags and boxes "just in case," you might wonder just where to start.

That's where the University of Illinois Extension Service comes to the rescue. They're offering a workshop on March 11 called, "Finding Sanity in Today's World: De-Cluttering Your Life."

The goal -- help area residents get rid of unnecessary paper and clutter. For more information, dial 618-650-7050 or check it out online. Pre-registration is requested by March 6.
