• For the fifth consecutive year, Laredo Construction of Sisters has been selected for the 2013 Best of Sisters Award in the home renovation category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

• Shibui Spa invites folks in Sisters Country to celebrate a special person by participating in the Shibui "Gift of Giving Back" campaign.

This campaign is an invitation to the community to acknowledge those special people among us that would benefit from the healing touch of massage.

This person may not be aware of the benefits of massage or may be so busy she needs a little nudge to take some time for herself.

This person may not have the means to spend on himself and just need a little help.

Shibui therapists are donating their time and Shibui is offering treatments free of charge to that special person on a case-by-case basis.

Recommend a person in your life that would benefit from this gift by sending a narrative of their story to [email protected]
