Girls
Night Out 2010:
SOLD OUT!!!!
Call 247-1242 to be placed on a waiting list
for cancellations.
Seats in Boys and
Girls Club van to Blue Lake Ranch still available.
Take
a tour of the Discovery Museum, learn seven collaboration tips to build
your business
Collaboration with other businesses and
organizations can build your own business, and Claire Bradshaw,
executive director of the Durango Discovery Museum, will tell you how
at the next WRC Business Women's Network
gathering
scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, at the
EcoCenter
at the Powerhouse at the Durango Discovery Museum on 1333 Camino del
Rio.
Effective collaboration with another business or organization requires
you to change your mindset from a "win/lose/scarcity" model to a
win-win orientation that draws upon the strengths of each collaborator,
says Bradshaw.
Collaborations can be as simple as sharing office space and leads to as
complex as organizing a conference or trade show. However,
collaborations are most successful if the parties define up front what
roles and expectations will be and identify an exit plan if it doesnt
work out.
In addition to the evening's presentation, Bradshaw will provide a
sneak-preview tour of the museum. Refreshments will be served.
Cost is free to
Women's Resource Center members and $5 all others. Call the Women's
Resource Center at 247-1242 for more information.
Breast Cancer
Awareness begins early with reduced-cost screenings for WRC members
 Integrated
Health Solutions will offer several specials for breast-cancer
screenings from now through November in honor of Breast Cancer
Awareness Month in October, including 10 percent off for WRC members.
A portion of the proceeds from screenings through November will be
donated to the Women's Resource Center.
Integrated Health Solutions uses digital infrared thermal imaging, a
non-invasive, painless, radiation-free procedure that measures the
subtle temperature differences in different parts of your body. The
procedure is approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and results
are assessed by medical doctors trained in reading the thermal
imaging.
Thermal imaging detects subtle physiological changes that may affect
breast health, such as tumors, fibrocystic disease, vascular disease or
infection. The changes may appear as hotter or cooler regions
of
the imaged area, says screening technician Donna Smith. Monitored over
time, the patterns of lower or higher temperatures can tell
doctors whether a problem is developing. Thermal imaging can detect a
malignant carcinoma as small as 1 millimeter in diameter.
For more information, visit Integrated Health Solutions on BuzzTown.com
or read more about the screening specials here . . .
Stress-reduction
classes begin with free orientation session on Sept. 14
With the complex and
ever-changing nature of the world never more apparent than it is today,
many of
us are experiencing stress on an unprecedented level.
Come learn about how the human capacity
called mindfulness can help us cultivate the skills, clarity and wisdom
required to meet the extraordinary demands and challenges of our times. A free orientation session
for the upcoming Mindfulness-Based
Stress Reduction in Durango
Class will be held on Tuesday, September 14 from 6:30-8 PM at
1040
Main Avenue, 2nd
Floor. The MBSR
class, modeled on the internationally
acclaimed program created at the University of Massachusetts Medical
Center in
1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., offers powerful methods for learning to
cope more
effectively with stress, pain, illness and
“dis-ease.”
The next class cycle begins on Tuesday,
September 28, and will be held on eight consecutive Tuesday
evenings,
6-8:30 PM. For more
information or to
register please visit Stillpoint’s website: www.stillpointmindfulnesstraining.com,
or call Janet Curry, M.A., #970-779-0611, or
email: janet@stillpointmindfulnesstraining.com.
