The Annex Grand Opening Dr. Martha Stewart and her staff hosted the grand opening of the annex. Located next door to her office, the annex is a place where clients can unwind and relax. Offering massages, facials, and skin care products, this is a place to de-stress. The grand opening was a fun-filled gathering where guests enjoyed delicious appetizers and wine, learned about products and services offered at the annex, and received complimentary hydrafacial hand treatments, neck massages, and beauty gift bags. Skin care products and services worth over $2000 were raffled off. Canned goods and donations were collected for The Samaritan Center. The philosophy of the Annex is “Feel good about feeling good.” Clients should feel good knowing that each quarter a portion of all product sales will be donated to a local nonprofit organization that does a lot of great work for those in our area who are in need. Last quarter’s nonprofit organization was The Samaritan Center, and this quarter will benefit Hannah’s Klozet Foundation, which offers various support services for those living with cancer.
