Things To Do
Don't Miss the "Diva Doc"
You are invited to hear a very special speaker this Thursday night, September 9th. Dr. Karen Purcell also known as “The Diva Doc” is arriving from New York just to speak at this World Wellness meeting. This is a onetime only event and we are very lucky to have her join us. All clubs are invited to attend this wonderful evening, ask your friends and family to join us!
Dr. Karen Purcell is a physician who has literally “healed herself”. When persistent health problems derailed her world-class operatic career she went back to school. Today Dr. Karen Purcell is a well known alternative medicine practitioner in New York City and the Hudson Valley Areas. She is a frequent lecturer and guest speaker on health issues, including regular appearances on national television and radio programs.
During Dr. Purcell’s time with us, she will demonstrate an IONCleanse Treatment. This process eliminates toxic chemicals and other substances in the body and is now accepted as a major component of anti-aging medicine. Harmful manufactured substances that remain unrecognized by the cells tend to stay in the body. They become lodged in organ tissues as ever present noxious elements. The IONCleanse gently removes toxins, metals and yeasts.

OCTOBER 14 – 16, 2010
The May 2010 event and expo was a huge success! Once again our nearly 10,000 sq. ft. upscale children’s consignment event and expo will showcase gently loved children’s items such as clothing ranging from newborn/preemie to child size 10, toys, books, shoes, cd’s and DVD’s, baby gear (strollers, highchairs, etc), furniture, bedding, maternity wear and more. There will be special sections for holiday and boutique wear, sports and dance outfits and accessories, and school uniforms and materials. The idea is if a child has worn it, played with it, read it, listened to it, watched it, and it is in good condition it can be resold.
