 celebrity judges to cast your vote at the 3rd Annual West Park Pizza Bake-Off on Monday, January 23, at

Judges are Patty Harken of

My Reclaimed Life Holds Fundraiser for New Sign
H
ave you shopped at the cozy boutique offering vintage and  antique goods at 16205 Lorain Avenue? Open since September 1, My Reclaimed Life is next to Yvonne's Jewelers and across the street from Dunkin' Donuts. Proprietor Chelsea Jenkins also features the work of local artists for sale. And, last month, she successfully coordinated the arts and crafts portion of the Kamm's Corners Farmers Market Holiday Showcase.
"So far, I have relied solely on social media, word-of-mouth, and networking with local businesses to spread the word about what the shop offers. The former Humbert Studio sign remains where my new sign would go," Chelsea explained.
A fundraiser is planned at West Park Station, 17015 Lorain Avenue, on Saturday, February 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. Tickets are $20 for all-you-can-eat pizza and wings. Domestic draft beer is also included. There will be Chinese raffles and side boards. (Click here for the Facebook invitation.) Your help is needed, so rally with your friends and family for a good time for a good cause.
Chelsea has given back to the community by donating goods to needy families and volunteering on community projects. This is a way to help her increase business for greater success. For more information, call 216-532-5326.
