Gallery Walk Update
The August 2nd Gallery Walk will offer complimentary color analysis by our Jane Iredale mineral makeup line representative. To guarantee time with her, you can call in advance and schedule a 15 minute block between 6pm & 8pm. As always we will have the free chair massage and hand treatments. Come all and enjoy - August 2nd from 6pm - 9pm.

Summer Sunday Hours
We are now open on Sundays from 12pm - 5pm. Call to make an appointment with Pat Schultz and Theresa Thompson. Massage, Facials, Body treatments and waxing. Sorry - no nails on Sunday yet. Some walk-in appointments are available, however as the word spreads, we might fill up.

Thanks For Posting Bail!
We raised $1070.00 for Diabetes research. Thanks to everyone who contributed in donations and spirit. On Thursday, June 26th, I was arrested and taken to jail (at Ruby Tuesdays). My mug shot and finger prints were taken and then I hit the phones. Between the emails, neighborhood walks and the phone calls, I exceeded the bail requirements. My mug shot is on display in the spa -- Thanks again!

GO Spa Is Participating In The Decorator Showcase
The Inn at Buckeystown has agreed to be the site for the May, 2004 Decorator Showcase. Tours of the newly designed Inn will be open to the public weekends through May. Proceeds will go to several charities that contribute to Frederick County. We are desperately looking for volunteers to help with the showcase preparation. If you are organized, like people and want to help charities, call Janet Wells at 301-874-5755.

Website & Email Upgrades
Coming soon, we will have a revised website that is more interactive. Allows you to view the menu without downloading and will have points for you to give me feedback as well as old issues of the GO Spa News (in case you want to read it again) and other details for your information. I know I have had some problems with my email so as soon as this is all working, I will let you know. Thanks for your patience.

New Staff Members Are Coming!
The last few weeks we have had a full schedule and getting an appointment with us has been hard but we have just hired 2 people that will allow us to expand our offering for skin care and nail services. I will tell you more about Theresa Thompson and Christine Cordelli in the next issue.

We Have Air Conditioning!
I apologize to anyone who was here early in the season when we did not yet have A/C. We hope you will come back and try us now that we do.

Tips & Tidbits From Yvette
OK, I got this email about the value of bananas and I was amazed. Here are some interesting facts:

Bananas are great for…

• An energy boost - They contain natural sugars combined with fiber so they give an instant sustained and substantial boost to your energy.
• Fights depression - Bananas contain trypotophan, a type of protein that the body converts to serotonin known to make you relax, improve mood and generally makes you feel happier.
• Insect bites - rub banana on mosquito bites to remove swelling and irritation. There are many more so if you would like additional tidbits, please ask me.

Hope you'll join us for the Gallery Walk. Check out our new website coming soon! I'll give you details in the next issue.

Peace and good health,
