After the fundraising workout session last month with Great Valley Adventure Boot Camp (workout4acause.com), the local get-fit gurus host another “Workout for a Cause” on Sept. 11 — this time with proceeds slated for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for Breast Cancer.
The event, held at Reeves Park in Phoenixville, is a special Saturday morning boot camp beginning at 9 a.m. It’s open to everyone.
In keeping with the boot camp-inspired “get fit” mentality, head over to the new Soul Center (550 Kimberton Rd., Phoenixville), the studio that brings together yoga, dance, music and spiritual teachings in one space. They’ll be holding a grand opening on Sept. 11.
If you want to dabble in free introductory classes of Vinyasa Flow, Freedom Yoga, soul expression and more, the latest healthful hub will offer hour-long sessions, followed by an upbeat cocktail party for all patrons at 6 p.m. that features entertainment by Yogini, Opera Diva, Natlie Levin and devotional sitar player Michael Golub.
The Soul Center strives to conclude their evening with a bang, sliding into the night with a lively party lead by Group Motion. Participants will join a dance/movement workshop with live music that makes magic happen on the dance floor.
Of course, stylish and smart women know where to place their money — in the prettiest handbags, which is why Phoenixville Federal Bank & Trust’s upcoming evening event will be ideal for your next girls’ night. It will be held Thursday, Sept. 16, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The community bank will pair a Black Walnut Winery wine tasting with tasty tea sandwiches from West Chester’s Arianna’s Gourmet Tea Room at their Conference Center of Nutt Road. And while enjoying the free light fare, attendees can design their own custom handbag from West Chester’s Pee Dee Bee Bags, allowing you to add a new self-designed money holder to your closet’s mix.
Although handbags cost extra to design (prices range from $8 to $80), two lucky ladies will each win their own set. Better yet, as guests gush over fabrics, prints, handles and embellishments, Phoenixville Federal will inform new designers about the best ways to adjust their financial futures and offer suggestions on the smartest places to put your stash of cash. Discussions will include: Why women are better investors; the myth that “someone will take care of me”; how to assess risk; what are basic asset classes; what is proper asset allocation; and how to use bonds for income.
Bring your moms, sisters and best friends or come solo, and learn about your money-making decisions at this crafty workshop and snacking session.
