Rizzieri’s Spa Event

Rizzieri Salon joined us at the Evesham Library for some family fun – chasing our mid-winter blues away.  In addition to a craft and refreshments, Rizzieri’s students (who will be graduating next month) were “on hand” for FREE MANICURES!  It was hands-down the best mother/daughter event of the year so far.  We’re hoping to have Rizzieri’s back to visit us in June.  Keep your eyes on the summer calendar!
