Hey – did you know that we have an active Weight Watchers location here at The Plaza North? For up to date meeting times, location and phone number, visit http://bit.ly/daDfxD. Weight Watchers is also on Facebook – to get tips, hints, and friendly support, visit http://bit.ly/bfBkzN. They will probably have a lot of good ideas on what to do with those leftover eggs, also!
Hop on over. It’s getting close to the finish line. The Plaza North can get you set up for whatever you need for Easter – lilies, greeting cards, candy, tableware, decorations, baskets and fun gifts and gift cards to fill them with.
How about filling them with candy from CVS, a gift certificate for a frozen yogurt treat from Brain Freeze, some cute collectible erasers or a guardian angel lapel pin from Ideal, or maybe a nice piece of jewelry from Gold’n'time? Egg-cellent!
