Free Flu Shots
ROLL IN, ROLL UP, ROLL OUT!
Saint Agnes provides convenient, quick and easy flu shots
It is not your typical drive-thru, no burger or fires here! On Saturday, November 15, 2008, Saint Agnes Hospital will host a drive-thru flu clinic where residents can receive their annual flu shots without even leaving their car. The flu shots are free but you must be 18 years old and pre-register by telephone. Annually 5-20% of the United States population develops this viral infection and 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications. Each year, the influenza virus changes slightly making vaccines from previous years ineffective. However, receiving the current flu shot will significantly decrease your chances of developing the influenza virus. With flu season rapidly approaching there is no better time then now to receive a flu shot!

Doodle-opes!
PDA Marketing has developed...a direct mail marketing BREAKTHROUGH!
Doodle-opes, a new innovation in direct mail.If the envelope never gets noticed, then your message will never get read. There are a gazillion postcards, catalogues, bound backs, priority first class, pop ups, post its, tear sheets, oversized and lumpy mail concepts and all have their place in the mix but...the Doodle-ope just begs "open it!!" With this one simple envelope you will confound your competition and increase readership by 150%! Why 150%? because not only will everyone open this, but i guarantee that if you did the fingerprint test every postal employee and maybe even the FBI and the CIA would crawl all over this for the real truth behind the scribble. Only you are privy to the secret code. The only terrorist activity here is waged upon your competition. Scientifically proven: Yes! not any old scribble will produce winning results like this one does. Pushing the envelope, it is your chance to be on the cutting edge of a direct marketing breakthrough.
PDA marketing has designed many “Outrageous and Unusual” marketing pieces for Glazer-Kennedy and Glazer-Kennedy Insider's Circle members. The Photo envelope, X-Ray package, Brown Bag mailer, Kids Mailer, The Travel Postcard, The Gamble Mailer and an array of handwritten pieces capture the No BS, out-of-the-box design look. Cost-effective design services and production work, from conception to implementation. PDA has facilitated many comprehensive marketing campaigns for Bill Glazer and Dan Kennedy students.
Additionally, PDA has also designed many of the Glazer-Kennedy information products such as: 8 Big Ideas, Sales and Persuasion Strategies, Renegade Millionaire Time Management, Personality in Copy, Power Points, Creative Thinking, No BS On-Line Training to name just a few. PDA can create a valuable information product from an audio CD or DVD to as little as an idea.
Doodle-opes takes direct marketing to the next level.

ReThreads / New Threads
Stop in and Meet and Greet the new owners. ReThreads Woman's Boutique located at 6416 Frederick road is under new ownership. Husband and wife couple, Janelle and James Williams, bought the store and plan to keep the core of the business the same while adding a fresh look, new ideas and some fresh new clothing and accessories. James does extensive traveling and he will be incorporating small quantities of close-out deals on clothing and jewelry from stores here in Maryland, New York and abroad.
ReThreads will continue to accept donations as well as buy good quality designer teen and woman's clothing, jewelry, shoes and accessories for $1 to $2 per item. Occasionally, they will pay more depending on the item.
The previous owners Nancy Belisle and Jessica Desjardine sold the store in August to Janelle and James Williams who are past Catonsville residents. The store is managed by their son Nicholas who is a student at Catonsville Community College.
ReThreads offers a variety of up-scale new and used fashions for woman from designers including Ann Taylor, Liz Claiborne, Anne Klein, BCBG Max Azria, Donna Karen, Jones of New York, Ralph Lauren, and Chaus. The couple plans to officially change the store's name at the beginning of the new year to " NEW THREADS " to reflect the store's new slogan, "Turning your Rethreads into New Threads".
They are hoping to eventually expand their business in the Catonsville community as early as next summer.

Patapsco Clean Up -Saturday October 11th - 9am-12pm
Please join us for our river cleanup along the Patapsco River in Ellicott City and Catonsville. Betsy McMillion and Teddy Betts are our stream captains. Volunteers will meet and sign in near the bridge that crosses the Patapsco River on the Baltimore County side, near the old Simkins Paper Mill parking lot along River Road (for those of you living in Howard County, Ilchester Road dead ends at the county line and turns into River Road). Signs will be posted to direct you to the registration table. Volunteers under 16 years old must be accompanied and supervised by an adult volunteer.
We recommend that you call the morning of the cleanup at 410-480-0824 to make sure that the cleanup has not been cancelled due to inclement weather or unsafe conditions along the river.
We will be cleaning up riverbanks on both Baltimore and Howard county sides of the river. We have permission for our volunteers to park in the Simkins Mill Parking lot, near the old train bridge.
We recommend our volunteers wear a hat, long pants and shirt, so any prickly underbrush or insects won't bother you! Chances are you may get wet, so you might want to wear appropriate clothes and waterproof shoes or boots. We also recommend everyone bring their own sunscreen and insect repellant.
Unfortunately, there are no nearby "public" restrooms available, so please plan accordingly.
Please bring your own work or garden gloves and a shovel if you can! Sometimes we find embedded items near the water that can only be removed with shovels. There are also lots of "floatable" items that have been washed down nearby storm drains off main highways, county roads and parking lots, which end up in our streams and rivers! We need all the help we can get! To get an idea of what happens during our cleanup events, please visit the website where we post photos of our volunteers in action at http://patapscofriend.myphotoalbum.com/. We will provide bottled water and some snacks for the thirsty and hungry. It's hard work picking up this trash!
For our high school and college students who need forms signed confirming community service hours, please bring your form, complete the appropriate sections and our stream captain will complete and sign the forms for you at the end of the event.

From Montgomery Road (Route 103), turn onto Ilchester Road.
