APRIL NEWSLETTER

APRIL 2008 NEWSLETTER

Hi Ladies,

What a shocking night of wild storms for our last meeting! Eight of us braved the weather, and had a quiet round-table chat, the main topic of which was additional supplements and treatments. If you are taking any supplements that you find beneficial, please let me know details and I’ll make a list for us to share. There’s probably quite a lot of supplements available that we could all benefit from.
