 Dr. Sandra Elbaum, Chester Family Chiropractic Center
Our guest speaker was Dr. Sandra Elbaum of the Chester Family Chiropractic Center. Sandra and her husband Adam work together at their office located at 4700 Buckingham Court across from Dr. Joe. Sandra has received numerous awards in her profession over her 20 year career. Sandra highlighted some of the chemical, physical and emotional elements that are conducive to good health and wellness. Sandra informed us how important it is to eat regular meals and to supplement with daily doses of fish oil, Ultrameal and meditation. Also, we need to stay away from many artificial sweeteners and food that contains partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Chiropractic is the largest and most popular natural, drug-free healthcare system in the world. Chiropractors perform a service to locate and release stress from the body, a stress that affects the brain and spinal cord. For more information, you can contact Sandra at her office at 804-796-3221. Tom Sokol is looking for additional volunteers to help out with the Chester YMCA Bright Beginnings program from 5:30 - 8:30 PM on Monday August 23 at Target. Volunteers will help students pick out school supplies. Please contact Tom for details. Volunteers will receive credit for our meeting attendance. Below, scholarships program chair Ed Thompson awarded Thomas Dale High School students Jennifer Olmeda and Mathis Seal both with $2,000 scholarships.

 Tam Moody of Delta Graphic Inc
Our guest speaker was Tam Moody of Delta Graphic Inc (DGI). DGI was started in 1964 by Harry Moody as a manufacturer of chalkboards for classrooms. Handed down from father to son, DGI has evolved into a full-line furnishings supplier to education, municipal and government facilities throughout the state of Virginia. Tam described many humorous stories of how he got started working for his father at the first facility which is now the Chester Muffler Shop. While Tam's father was strict and quite a character, Tam learned the business and expanded its operations to supply numerous prestigious facilities. ___________________________________________________________
