Norwex
You are invited to join a revolution in cleaning with Norwex Enviro Products! Celebrating 10 years in Canada, Norwex offers a range of green cleaning products that will help you to significantly reduce the amount of chemical cleaner you use to keep your home and workplace clean.
Household Dangers
Just how important is it to stop using the majority of household chemical cleaners? Just check out these statistics:
“According to the Consumer Protection Agency, 150 chemicals found in the home are connected to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological disorders.”
How about this one??
“Out of 2 435 pesticide poisonings in a one-year period, over 40% were due to exposure to disinfectants and similar cleaning products in the home.” (Source:State of California Study)

Antibacterial Microfiber
The Norwex Antibacterial microfiber cleaning cloths are the most innovative in the industry, allowing you to remove 99.9% of dirt and bacteria from all surfaces using only water... no chemicals required!
Our flagship product, the Enviro Cloth removes dust, dirt and grease from all washable surfaces, while preventing the transfer of germs to your hands, and cross-contamination between surfaces. Use it dry for dusting, or damp for cleaning walls, tiles, bathtubs, counters, metal surfaces, car interiors, etc.The Antibac Window Polishing Cloth allows you to clean your windows, mirrors, jewelry, and shiny surfaces with water alone. No more glass cleaners needed!To view the complete product line, visit www.cleaningqueen.net.

It’s not an exaggeration when we say that people can save money and time when they use Norwex Enviro Products.
It’s estimated that the average household will spend as much as $500 annually on cleaning products. When you make the switch to Norwex Enviro Products, you’ll spend half that amount, while reducing your cleaning time by about 75%!
How is this possible? Well, the microfiber does such a good job of cleaning grime from surfaces, that counters, floors, etc. literally don’t get dirty as quickly, and they clean up much faster. And, you are no longer using mountains of paper towels, various bottles of chemical cleaners, etc.

Oakville Moms Review:

Just Add Heat is a food service providing you meals that are ready to cook with minimal preparation time. Each month they change their menu, choose from 16 different meals. Portions come in 2, 4, 6 servings. You can book your session and go in yourself to assemble your meals or order online and they will prepare your meals for you at no extra cost.
I had the pleasure of trying a few different meals: Chicken Pesto Lasagna; Creamy Sweet Potato Soup (Vegetarian); Mojo Beef Stir Fry. Just Add Heat was very generous and I couldn't wait to try them all! It was just nice to know I had meals ready in my freezer. All I had to do is add heat and it was ready for my family. This really helped me out after having a long and tiring day with the kids!!! Each meal comes well packaged and with easy instructions to follow. They also include ingredients and nutritional facts.
If you are tight on time for dinner meals and want to have a few meals ready on the go, considering checking out Just Add Heat. They provide tasty meals and a great service. Check them out at: www.justaddheat.ca.

H1N1 vaccine now available to adults over 65 and children and youth through Halton Region clinics and physician offices

Starting today, the Halton Region Health Department H1N1 immunization clinics will begin offering H1N1 immunizations to individuals who are 65 years of age or older, along with children and youth five to 18 years old. Residents are encouraged to contact their physician’s office to see if the vaccine is available there.

In addition, the Region is opening a fifth immunization clinic at Mainway Arena and Community Centre in Burlington on Friday, November 13, and will offer two clinic locations over the weekend (Nov 14-15), instead of just one.

The two clinics open on the weekend will be the Halton Regional Centre, Oakville and Gary Allan High School, Burlington.

Individuals between the ages of 18-65 who do not have a chronic health condition are asked to please be patient and wait for the H1N1 immunization clinics to open to the general public–likely at the end of this month.

For pregnant women who chose to wait for the unadjuvanted vaccine, it continues to be available only at the Oakville clinic.

Depending on the supply of vaccine, clinics locations and hours may change next week. Please continue to check our website at http://www.halton.ca/ or dial 311 for updates.

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Oakville

Hello everyone!
We're excited to announce our upcoming "Sharkey's CARES for Kids" charity event. Women's Shelters are charities that we are both very passionate about and we'd like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this newsletter.

We are asking everyone to please come out and do some Holiday Shopping at our event. We are raising money for many local children who have had their lives pulled out from under them during the Holiday Season. It may not have been a great life, but it was their life. That is a lot for a child to go through - not to mention potentially losing their Holidays at the same time.
So please, save the date and come join us!November 16-22, 2009For more information, click HERE

Looking forward to seeing you!

Survey for moms and dads

Hi there!

I am a student at Sheridan College doing an academic research assignment on the eating and grocery buying habits of moms and families with children. I have chosen to focus on the new pre-assembled meal trend, and have created a questionnaire to be filled out by moms and dads.

You can view the questionnaire by clicking the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=iFvjHQSE3hr6YrBDW8RBbg_3d_3d

Thank you for your time.
