Our first speakers for January 2025 are Jeanette Jacquez and Connie Maestas with Desert Sun; learn about Red Light Therapy and what it can do for you. Also known as LED light therapy, it is rapidly rising in popularity around the world! Many exclusive spas, resorts, skin care clinics, doctor’s offices, and high-end salons use this therapy. Even tanning salons are jumping on the bandwagon and offering red light therapy as a mean to repair skin that has been damaged by tanning.

Wow!  What a way to end 2024 with amazing entertainment from members of the Caliente Choir and Virginia Nickles.  They brought different note bells so members had ringing parts in some of the songs. It was super cute!  And then we had an ugly sweater contest and the winner was……Fran!  Her sweater was covered in bells and would shake and ring.  Thanks to all who participated.
