================================================================================================================
A Note from member Claudia Taylor:
During the month of October for anyone in the congregation  or persons they refer, I am  willing to donate the proceeds from both nutritional and chiropractic services to the parking lot fund.

The office of a Doctor of Chiropractic is unfamiliar territory for many people, so.....

If you associate chiropractic with cracking stiff necks and cranky low backs,
this is not the office for you.

My sign says family practice, lifestyle and nutritional wellness.

As my grown daughter who grew up living the life and walking the walk once asked me--
                          What is Chiropractic Lifestyle and Nutritional Wellness anyway?
It is a BLEND OF CHIROPRACTIC to optimize motion:
          Our bodies are created to move  We are not plants.
          Anything with a joint--feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, hands, and yes, backs and necks      benefit from improved neuro-musculo-skeletal, that is nerve muscle and joint, function.

WITH BETTER CHOICES--the-substance, food, deed (activity or in-activity) and thoughts
          we allow in our body.

Together, they are better than either one alone.

Balancing health is a journey not a destination.  We stress progress and better choices--
new tricks for old dogs (or old habits) not perfection. 

Enjoy your own meaningful healthcare revolution. It begins with you making better choices.
One degree of change, positive or negative, can profoundly affect the pathway of your health.

I hope you will think of this offer as an opportunity to contribute towards the substantial amount we need to raise while seizing the opportunity as motivation to improve your own health.

I do not do no fault or workers compensation.  I am not encouraging anyone seeing another practitioner to make a change ( but boldly ask if he/she is willing to price match!)

We are thrilled to present another concert at Old South Haven Presbyterian Church. We were so beautifully received here last year and when Pastor Tom asked us to sing another recital, we jumped at the opportunity! We were married in June and wanted to present a concert of love songs from our different heritages. Maria grew up on Long Island with an Italian-American background, and Dimitrie in Pittsburgh as a Serbian-American. When we were united in marriage we warmly embraced each other's culture and family, (Italian and Slavic). We also had a firm grasp and love of music from America, being that we were born here. Hence we are presenting in the second half of our program our American favorites in folk song, sacred, and musical theater pieces. We hope you enjoy our tapestry of heritages and you feel at home listening to these different songs, duets, and arias which we love to sing and which brings us together.
--Maria and Dimitrie
