Tuscany in March
The Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce is inviting the general public in the greater Wickenburg and North and West Valley areas to join it on a weeklong trip to Italy, beginning in mid March.
The trip costs $3,450 per person with double occupancy in a four-star accommodation, and the cost includes round-trip airfare from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, meals, tickets to tourist attractions, and English-speaking tour guides with deluxe tour buses. For more information about this spectacular trip, contact Megan McKeever at 684-5479.
Wickenburg pH health study continues
In 2007, 150 individuals in Wickenburg participated in a pH health study. Of those tested, 80 percent were out of a healthy pH range, 50 percent were 100 times too acidic. The Lymphatic Wellness Center is conducting the study to collect data from pH tests of a general population like Wickenburg. Stage Two of the study will begin mid January consisting of further pH testing and a free four-week course on “How to improve your circulation, immune system and overall health by activating your lymphatic system.” Total commitment each week is around 60-90 minutes for testing and class.
