‘Tranquility Stone’ Amethyst Pendant is Grand Prize at Women’s Wellness Night Out!

The Auxiliary of Veterans Memorial Hospital and Elliott Jewelers Women’s Health Day will be celebrating their 20th annual event this year with a new Women’s Wellness Night Out!  This year, the event is being sponsored by not only Veterans Memorial Hospital and Elliott Jewelers, but also the Waukon Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday, September 11, from 4-7 pm at the Allamakee Fairgrounds Pavilion. 

A total of seven different speakers on a variety of popular health and wellness topics will outline the night with over 40 health, wellness and family agencies/vendors on site ready to visit about the services they offer.  Goodie bags will be shared with the first 200 ladies who come through the doors.  Hors d’oeuvres will be served throughout the evening and a cash bar will be available.

            Admission to the entire event will be a $15 raffle ticket for a chance to win a Ladies 14kt rose gold tri-color genuine Amethyst & diamond fashion pendant, on an 18” adjustable chain, (retail value $999), compliments of Elliott Jewelers of Waukon.  They add, “Known as the ‘Tranquility Stone,’ amethyst is believed to help relieve stress and anxiety, while encouraging mental clarity and balance. Whether worn as a statement of style or a symbol of serenity, this pendant blends beauty with mindful intention.”

The doors will open at 4 pm with the first speaker taking the stage at 4:15 pm.  Speakers will present for 15 minutes each with a 10-minute break between each speaker, giving time to visit the vendors and enjoy more refreshments.  Speakers will include topics such as anxiety and stress release, diet and inflammation, moving well and living well, scamming safety, mental health care, financial freedom, clean living and decluttering.

Door prizes will be drawn between each speaker with the grand jewelry raffle prize being drawn at the end of the evening.  Visitors need not be present to win the grand prize, but do need to be present to win the door prizes.

Tickets are on sale now for this event at Elliott Jewelers, the Waukon Chamber of Commerce office, and Veterans Memorial Hospital, as well as the Waukon and Postville Clinics.  Proceeds from the ticket sales will be used by the Auxiliary of Veterans Memorial Hospital to purchase a new stove for the Nutrition Department at the hospital.
