"Comfort Hour" this Saturday
for the Ladies!
Remember how we used to need "Happy Hour" ... some time for visiting with friends. Well, lately what I'm hearing from women is that we all need some rest and comfort! So ... from time to time we're going to highlight some "COMFORT HOURS" ... times to relax -- leave the husbands and kids -- enjoy some nurturing and have some fun. THERE IS NO COST to attend! This Saturday, from 2:30 to 6:30 is our first one and it's called Pampered Shopping! Salt scrubs, chair massages, peach Belinni's (yum yum and optional), and shopping.

Nunsense has been rescheduled.
Nunsense, the play about the zany Sisters of Hoboken who put on an entertaining fundraiser to raise money for their good cause is a must see especially if you liked Sister Act. It has been rescheduled for May when they expect the LHUCA theater to be ready.
