 LOCAL BUSINESSES TO HOST "THE SAVVY WOMAN'S 'RECIPE' FOR BEING THE BEST 
 SHE CAN BE IN 2010" TO BENEFIT LITERACY IN OUR COMMUNITY

 WOODBURY, CONN. – On Sunday, February 21, 2010 women will have the 
 opportunity to reinvent themselves at a “makeover” event entitled 
 "Experience Good News for Women" that will transform wardrobes, introduce 
 stylish new “dos” and makeup applications - while imparting the secret of 
 how to incorporate health and wellness from within
 to create outward beauty.   The ultimate goal of the ‘enhancement’, say 
 event producers, is to inspire confidence in how women perform in their 
 daily lives.

 The event, which is from 1:30 - 4 p.m., is being held at Woodbury’s highly 
 acclaimed Good News Café.  Recipient of the Golden Spoon Award and 
 Connecticut Magazine’s highest four-star rating, the Good News Cafe has 
 been voted “Best Restaurant Statewide” and “Best American Restaurant 
 Statewide” in numerous Connecticut Magazine Readers’ Choice Polls. 
 Admission is $55 per person and includes wine, an assortment of “Signature 
 Specialty” hors d’oeuvres prepared by Good News Café owner and renowned 
 Chef Carole Peck, and automatic entry in a raffle. More than 50% of the 
 event’s proceeds will benefit Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury.

 A team of makeup artists from Viso Bello Day Spa & Massage Therapy Center 
 will premiere their cutting edge new looks for 2010 to achieve the Total 
 Look that works for women. Dan Settani, spa owner, will comment on the 
 importance of caring for your inner core and how it affects your outer 
 beauty.  His center has become the premier day spa in the tribury area. 
 Just passing its 20 year anniversary, Viso Bello is progressing to 
 complete an additional 2,000 square foot expansion of its facility. 
 Specializing in Therapeutic body massages, skin & nail care, Viso Bello 
 continually strives for excellence in overall health and wellness.

 Demonstrating visually on women from the community who have volunteered as 
 models – each model bringing to the fitting a piece of clothing that they 
 are challenged with – fashion stylist and author Andrea Ward will innovate 
 a totally modern image (coordinating cutting edge new clothes by NY and 
 European designers) that will create a great fizz for the 2010 season! 
 Andrea is the author of “Strut in Signature Style/Reinvent Your Wardrobe,” 
 rated among the “Top 10 Reads” by NBC’s iVillage.com for expertise in 
 style. She has been featured in Connecticut Magazine, on WFSB’s Better
