In celebration of International Women’s Day:

The 2nd Annual Women’s Spa Day at the 601

Friday, March 9th 1 – 4 p.m.

The afternoon of relaxation and enjoyment will include nail painting, hair styling, facials, games, good company, and good food, all in celebration of the beautiful women in our community!

If you’d like to help out, we’ll need some goodies to fill up gift bags (beauty products like makeup, lotions, bubble bath, etc., candles, chocolates, nail polish, and manicure items, hairbrushes, combs and accessories) as well as some door prizes (flowers, cozy blankets, warm pajamas, slippers and socks, mitts, scarves, bath towels, face cloths, and robes are just some ideas).

For more info or to find out how to get involved, contact Tina at 242-5005 or reception@aidssaskatoon.ca
