Donate to Summer Scholarships for Camps (CAKE)
Each summer MoCo Arts awards scholarships to about 50 deserving students in order that they might attend our Creative Arts at Keene (CAKE) camps in downtown Keene. These scholarships enable children, who would otherwise be home alone, to immerse themselves in the arts. In doing so, they join hundreds of other kids, learning the meaning of commitment, perseverance and teamwork. Together they have fun, they work hard to succeed and they find fulfillment in personal creative expression. If you would like to support a local child, please send your donation to MoCo Arts Scholarship Fund, 76 Railroad Street, Keene, NH 03431. And thanks!

Summer Nutritional Cleanse
Why would someone want to do a
cleanse? By eating only nutritious non-allergenic foods, three meals a day
for 10 days, the digestive system gets to rest and renew and the body cleansing
systems get to focus energy on removing old waste. A nutritional supplement
drink is used, twice a day, to provide extra support for liver detoxification
systems. This type of cleansing can often relieve symptoms associated with
congestion and toxicity such as fatigues, allergies, headaches, digestive
upset, irritability, foggy thinking, and skin problems. We will set our
intentions for this cleanse at the 1st meeting, using both the literal and
the symbolic aspects of cleansing, and adjust our emotional gauges along
the way to stay on track. This program is for adults only. Men and women
both welcome. A 15 minute phone consult with Joy prior to first meeting
is necessary for health and medication screening purposes. Final day to
register and pay for this workshop is June 30. Actual cleanse begins 7/14
& finishes 7/23. Additional SUPPLEMENT COST: $105. Held at Women Supporting
Women Center, located at 111 Water Street, Exeter, NH. For registration
