Aside from family members, friends, and students of the owners, various Park Hills - Leadington Board Members, Ambassadors, and Investors, and several Park Hills City Officials were in attendance to the celebration.
Director of Dance, Marianne Politte, will be teaching students traditional Irish dance for fun and performance, without the stress and cost of competition. At Claddagh Irish Dance, they teach traditional dances, a lovely part of Irish culture passed down through history. Dancers begin learning technique and soft shoe jigs and reels, and then advance to hard shoe jigs, reels and ceili. Adult classes focus mainly on ceili (group dances). Their performances can be enjoyed at local events, parades, and various community functions. They also hold an annual recital.
Be sure to stop in and wish them best of luck on their new endeavor and learn more about Irish Dance while your there!

Serenity HospiceCare
Serenity Celebrates McClellan
This past week, Serenity HospiceCare said goodbye to one of their veteran nurses, Alta McClellan. After seventeen years with Serenity, the Fredericktown native made the decision to retire, saying she was looking forward to spending more time with family and friends.
Serenity's Director of Nursing, Robyn Walton, said at the farewell lunch, "There are good nurses, and there are great nurses. Then, there's Alta." Nursing, however, was not McClellan's first career choice. She worked at Brown Shoe for twenty-one years, until the company shut down in 1991. It was only then, at the urging of her daughter, Michelle Hovis, that McClellan decided to give nursing school a try. "There was no doubt that mom had the heart to become a terrific nurse," said Hovis - a nurse herself. McClellan graduated from nursing school in 1993.

Arianna Huffington: Sleep Your Way to the Top
Think success is defined by the amount of hours you put in at work? Wake up and listen to the many truths about the value of dedicating your precious time to getting enough sleep.
The most basic shift we can make in redefining success in our lives has to do with our strained relationship with sleep.
As Dr. Michael Roizen, chief wellness officer of the Cleveland Clinic, put it, "Sleep is the most underrated health habit." Most of us fail to make good use of such an invaluable part of our lives. In fact, we deliberately do just the opposite.
We think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in. Sleep, or how little of it we need, has become a symbol of our prowess. We make a fetish of not getting enough sleep, and we boast about how little sleep we get. I once had dinner with a man who bragged to me that he'd gotten only four hours of sleep the night before. (I resisted the temptation to tell him that the dinner would have been a lot more interesting if he had gotten five.)

Why Your Business Needs a Spring Break
Offer your employees a team reward--like a Friday off or a week with no meetings--and watch them respond with creativity, cooperation, and adaptability. We could all use a shot of that.
It's that time of year again. Productivity slows down, the freeways clear out, and sunscreen sales begin their summer ascension. It's Spring Break, baby!
One of my greatest high school memories is of Spring Break--and probably not for the reasons you assume. In fact, I would argue that all of our workplaces would benefit from a mandatory Spring Break of sorts, and here's why: 1. Increase in CreativityDuring our Spring Break trip to South Padre Island, Texas, my girlfriends and I filled empty Scope bottles with vodka and green food coloring. C'mon, that's creative! And while I don't condone underage drinking, I do wonder what brilliant ideas might emerge at your company during a week of no meetings, no conference calls, and no one in the office past 4 p.m. Most of my inventive thoughts come when I'm relaxed; never during a meeting or conference call.
