Out & About: Make time to dance, feast on crab and relax

CRAB CLAWS FOR A GOOD CAUSE

This event is one I actually will be attending and yes I'll be serving again Feb. 25 at the annual Crab Claws for a Good Cause. St. Teresa's student, Ms. Chayenne Duve requested my presence again, sending an urgent e-mail saying they still needed servers to help the school's annual fundraiser. Considering my daughter attended Bishop Manogue High School, I know you can always use volunteers to help raise money. Even if my children have graduated, I have a nephew, Zachary Harris, and friends' children like Cole Salaices, attending St. Teresa's. As Father Chuck would remind us all, "it's not always about you, it's about how you can help others."

WHO: St. Teresa's of Avila Catholic School

WHAT: Annual Crab Claws for a Good Cause, raffle, silent auction and music.

WHERE: St. Teresa's Church in the Chartz Hall

WHEN: 6-10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25

COST: Crab, steak, salad for $60 per ticket

Give gift of

relaxation

One thing I really like about writing this column is the wonderful e-mails I receive. Last week I mentioned massage discounts for teachers and cancer survivors at Inner Touch Massage and Body & Soul. Cynthia Bunt, a licensed massage therapist here in town also offers discounted massages for caregivers and healthcare providers. This Valentine's Day, remember that person who gives so much of themselves to care for others, taking care of the sick, the elderly and in-home care givers; those wonderful individuals' who help out behind the scenes. Make someone's Valentines Day a very special day with a gift certificate for a therapeutic massage.
