Dine Out And Shop In Alexandria For The Walk To Fight Breast Cancer-October 21st
I wanted to put this event on your radars, to help a cause and the merchants who support it. By buying or eating in Alexandria on October 21st, you can help support Alexandria’s Breast Cancer fund at INOVA Alexandria Hospital Foundation. From the City of Alexandria website:
We hope you will mark your calendar to come out and participate in the 4th Annual Dine Out and Shop for the Walk to Fight Breast Cancer to be held on Tuesday, October 21, 2008. Restaurants, retail stores, spas, and many other businesses throughout Alexandria will be contributing a portion of their proceeds throughout the day to the Walk to Fight Breast Cancer. All funds raised from this event will go to support Alexandria’s Breast Cancer Fund at Inova Alexandria Hospital Foundation.
Restaurants participating include La Strada and Taqueria Poblano in Del Ray, Southside 815 and Stardust in Old Town and Tempo in the West End. Visit Let’s Meat on the Avenue and buy Steve’s delicious lamb, and 20% of the proceeds will go to help fight breast cancer.
You can also literally go one step farther and join in the 15th anniversary of the Annual Walk to Fight Breast Cancer on October 25th, at 8 a.m., along Eisenhower Avenue. Join in for a 1.5K, 3.5K or 5K walk or run.
If you have already scheduled an appointment, make sure the person in question includes plenty of information regarding preventative care for your teeth. Your first visit should include the performance of a thorough dental and medical history, as well as a routine head and neck exam.
In addition, make sure that your oral physician does not over or under-perform in the realm of x-rays. Too many are costly and unhealthy, while not getting a regular x-ray of your teeth is just as bad. A routine x-ray examination should be taken every 5 years.
