Because of the many queries about my family emergency I mentioned in Monday’s eblast, I thought I’d bring you up to date (for those of you who don’t like to read about the Hallers, skip this part!) – my 23 year old son, Dirk, was bit by a dog and the bite got severely infected so he was admitted to Lutheran General Hospital for 2 days while they pumped mega-doses of antibiotics through him. Thank you to all the well-wishers – he’s back at work at Houlihan’s and doing fine now.
There are 30 or so businesses participating in First Fridays which kicks off tomorrow!
Thank you to board member, Sheila Duda, TeaLula, who has tirelessly championed this effort with the Chamber’s Retail committee.
Please check out www.FirstFridaysPR.com for all the participating businesses, the art and artists, the Kalo Trolley Tours (donations gratefully accepted), and way more.
Thank you to Resurrection Health Services for being a major sponsor of First Fridays!

Chamber member Gleeday.com has generously offered to hold a fundraiser for the PRCF July 11 - 18! We’re looking for restaurants, stores, and other businesses to sign up. It’s great exposure for you, Gleeday and for the PRCF!
Gleeday is an online advertiser offering deals to their member base located throughout the suburbs. Importantly, and unlike their competition, they focus solely on underserved and relatively small geographic markets. Their model is structured to bring local, repeat, and profitable customers to their business partners. Take a look at their website: www.gleeday.com
Gleeday has generously agreed to contribute 30% of gross sales to PRCF as part of a special week of deals they are planning to run in mid-July. PRCF will also co-promote these deals by sending them to contacts throughout Chicagoland.
Please take part in this great initiative and help your community!
For further details, please contact Charlie Moriarty, at charlie@gleeday.com or at 847.868.2437. Charlie may also contact you to give you more details about this fundraiser.

TIP FROM THE TEACHER at TriPilates
ATHLETIC GRACE
by Yoly Nowak
New students often ask, "How long does it take before the exercises look graceful and flowing when performed?"
Joe Pilates wrote, "Correctly executed and mastered to the point of sub-conscious reaction, these exercises will reflect grace and balance in your routine activities."
We practice the same set of exercises in the same order so that the movements will become second nature to us. We don't think about it; we finish Footwork on the Reformer and automatically reach to lower the foot bar and go into the Hundred. Part of learning the sequence of exercises is learning the transitions between the exercises.
As you mount or dismount an apparatus, or move from one exercise to the next, use the least amount of extraneous movement to get into position without wiggling, squirming or adjusting to "get in the right spot." Think instead of adjusting a bit if you need to as you start to move. The transitions from one exercise to the next will allow you to master the exercises so that you can focus your mind on scooping your stomach a little deeper or lengthen your spine a bit longer, which will give you that athletic grace that we're looking for while we're moving.
Yoly and Beth are available for private lessons and small groups.

Structural Integrated Therapy:
How can this help you?
One of the numerous therapies that Vive! offers is a therapy called Structural Integrated Therapy (SIT). SIT is a deep tissue therapy whose primary goal is to balance and to lift the body in its gravity field. It strives to balance the extensors and flexors in the body thereby providing improved structural alignment and posture. Our bodies are not perfect and slight imperfections can cause us great pains as we try to stay balanced. For example, if a person has one leg shorter than the other the body will fight gravity in order to stay upright. This adjustment can cause the person's spine to bend to the other side in order to compensate for the unevenness. The muscles and fascia (the outer layer of connective tissue surrounding the muscles) are then pulled and stressed from this structural shift. SIT applies specific muscle stretching techniques that help the muscles to move freely and independently of each other. The goal of SIT is to enable all the body parts to cooperate in an integrated fashion. SIT accomplishes this over 10 individual sessions where each session focuses on a different body section. If you are suffering from postural misalignments, talk to us about getting a SIT sample
