ReLi-able Robust TechnologyReLi Med Solutions has built an enterprise system that will deliver the highest level of quality in a flexible format to meet your needs. Our hosted servers are housed in secure data centers with redundant power and top-of-the line networking facilities.
Primed for CertificationReLi Med Solutions has designed and developed the product centered around the physician’s needs to provide the
best patient care. The govern-ment’s certification program
holds us accountable to their goal of improving the U.S. healthcare system. We are focused and well positioned to attain the appropriate certification for 2011 and continuing to stay in compliance with the
future stages of Meaningful Use. Ask us for information on certification and the physician incentives.
Simple
Sleek DesignThe ReLi Med Solutions design team have taken the time to design simple, easy-to-navigate screens that are also pleasing to the eye.
Intuitive The streamlined design flows throughout the entire product from Scheduler to Patient Documentation. This consistency becomes the cornerstone in every facet of every practice and will result in a higher level of efficiency and improved productivity for you and your staff. We understand your business and know that it is essential to reduce the learning curve while delivering the highest quality EMR and Practice Management system to you.
Flexible Promotes IndividualityAt ReLi Med we understand your needs and have designed a solution that allows for individualized charting that fits your particular working style. The mass marketers of Health-care IT systems do not do that. We believe you should chart in your own words and have created a system that allows for rapid template creation and editing by each physician. The templates have a wide range of questions and categories that allow you to be as lengthy or brief as you desire.
Real Time CustomizationWhile charting, add questions that become part of the template without navigating away from the patient chart. Every question/answer is a discrete data element which can be tracked or presented in numerous forms in reports. Free text entry does not provide this ability and doesnot lend itself to future interoperability with other providers or government agencies. Web Hosted or In HouseThe ReLi Med Solutions suite of products also provides flexibility in the delivery of the solution. The web hosted solution provides the client with access to a hosted server over the internet thus allowing access from anywhere and avoids the upfront costs of installation and maintenance of a server. The in house solution provides the peace of mind that your data is with you at all times and optimum performance that does not rely on an internet connection. Two different solutions that offer the best of both worlds.
ReLi Med Solutions offers a complete suite of products that are necessary to maintain electronic records in a medical practice: ✔ Scheduler ✔ Patient Management ✔ EMR ✔ Reports ✔ Messaging ✔ ePrescriptions ✔ eLabs ✔ Billing
ReLi Med Solutions was born when
technologists and physicians collaborated
to develop a robust application that
has a simple layout yet flexible enough
to customize to suit individual needs.
Our unique team of software engineers
posseses deep domain knowledge and
experience in Healthcare IT. The result
is an extremely efficient and nimble
organization dedicated to providing
a high quality fully integrated Electronic
Medical Record / Practice Management
system. The focus of ReLi Med EMR
has always been on the provider. Our
products provide full customization
by the users and bolsters time savings
for the physicians.

The questions confronted by
scientists and humanists in discussing
the human being can be usefully
focused by considering three distinct
but related areas:
1 Human Autonomy –
the capacity for self-determination,
self-awareness, and self-regulation
that is central to our conceptions of
free will and moral accountability.
Traditionally, this is the subject
matter of philosophy and religion;
today, it is being explored by
researchers working in cognitive
science, genomics, and the
technology of bioinformatics.
2 Human Singularity –
on which our privileged place in the
order of being, distinct from animals
on the one hand and from machines
on the others, is premised. Traditionally,
this is the subject matter of history;
more recently, questions associated
with human singularity are being
explored by those working in
computational science and animal
intelligence, as well as by specialists in
genetic engineering and advanced
nanotechnology.
3 Human Creativity –
through which mankind demonstrates
its capacity for representation and
expression, and which many take to
be the distinctive feature of the human
species. Creativity has traditionally
been studied by scholars in literature
and the arts, but today this issue is
the focus of research in cognitive
science, neuroscience, and even
software development.
AUTONOMY, SINGULARITY, CREATIVITY:
Stem cell research. Nanotechnology.
Genetic mapping. Artificial intelligence.
We are in the midst of a striking convergence
of scientific research and technological
innovation on the oldest and most
fundamental of all humanistic questions, the question of the human. Researchers in
a number of scientific and technological fields have achieved remarkable advances
in understanding such fundamental human processes as cognition, learning,
communication, expression, emotion, imagination, moral reasoning, and creativity.
While certain scientific thinkers, including Darwin, Freud, and Chomsky, to name just
a few, have in the past claimed special insight into human being, we see today a
wide range of projects that may have implications for our most basic conceptions
about humanity.
The increase in knowledge about these processes has not only affected the ways
we think about them, but has raised expectations in some quarters of a dramatic
expansion in our capacities to intervene in them. This convergence of knowledge
and power, embraced by some and feared by others, creates the opportunity for a
wide-ranging conversation among scientists and humanists on the contemporary
terms of human self-understanding.
A full dialogue between humanists and scientists on the question of the human has
the potential to produce significant consequences, both inside and outside the
academy. “Autonomy, Singularity, Creativity: The Human and the
Humanities” (ASC) seeks to crystallize this conversation among
humanistic and scientific thinkers as they collectively seek a
more contemporary understanding of human attributes that
have traditionally been described in abstract, philosophical, or
THE HUMAN AND THE HUMANITIES
spiritual terms.
The inaugural ASC conference will assemble a distinguished group of
scholars to discuss both the promise of these new frontiers of
exploration and the challenges that must be confronted to allow fully
informed discourse both within and between humanities and the
sciences.
The overarching goals of the conference are:
to indicate the kinds of work now being done that explore what
are in effect fundamental attributes of human being, and thereby
raise the question of the human;
to articulate the larger stakes involved in projects or inquiries that
may be quite limited or highly focused in their scope and self-
understanding;
to anticipate or propose the adjustments in our thinking about
human being that may be entailed by advances in scientific
knowledge or technological expertise.

Before you dig out your favorite pair of plastic flip-flops to wear to that all-day festival, pause and see if you can hear the whispering.
It’s your feet.
And they’re begging you to give them some love.
With spring right around the corner, now’s the time to consid-er the shoes you’ll be wearing to
the amusement park, street fair or concert.
“The biggest mistake most people make is picking sexy over smart,”
says Dr. Robert Anderson, assistant team orthopedist for
the Carolina Panthers and chairman of the National Football League Foot and Ankle
Committee, which works with shoe companies, players and other groups to improve safety on the field. “Style is always a consideration; on the other hand, (shoes) need to be practical for the activity they’re going to engage in.”
How do you know if you’re wearing the wrong shoes? How about calluses, blisters, heel pain, arch pain and tired legs?
Dump Your Band-AidsShow Your Feet Some Lovin’ With
Comfy and Fashionable Shoes“You’ll know your shoes are wrong real quickly. Your feet, knees and back will tell you,” Steve Freyer, owner of Foot Solutions of Matthews, wrote in an e-mail. “But with proper footwear, properly fit - there’s no reason you can’t feel really good all day.”
No one needs to tell Penny Tucker that. She is adamant about her love of supportive footwear. The 35-year-old elementary school art teacher from Mooresville has battled back problems, plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. She attributes her problems to the 60 excess pounds she shed in the past year and a half, but she wouldn’t be able to make it standing on concrete all day if it weren’t for her supportive shoes.
Another avenue for achieving comfort is arch supports or inserts. They range in price and level of personalization- you can pick up a pair of inserts at the grocery store or have custom insoles made to match your feet perfectly.
“Smart festival shoes will fit all three segments of the foot (control the heel, conform and support the midfoot, and release the forefoot),” Freyer says. “(Smart shoes) will have a contoured footbed to distribute pressure, and reduce fatigue and tender spots, and yeah — they should look good, too. You should be happy and comfortable.”

ParentPinesa publication of Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council, Inc. Fall 2002
T oday’s girls have many extracurricular
activities available to them. They can
play sports, take dance lessons, belong to commu-
nity groups, participate in after-school programs,
and join a variety of social and academic clubs.
Parents often spend a great deal of time researching
these opportunities to find programs that offer a bal-
ance of educational and fun activities.
After researching extracurricular opportunities,
parents find that Girl Scouts offers one of the most
well balanced programs for girls. Throughout its
90-year history, the guiding mission of the Girl
Scout program has been to help girls grow strong
in every way possible. The Girl Scout program is a
mixture of educational activities that introduce girls
to new topics, help them explore their interests,
and allow them to build skills that will help them
throughout their lives. But most importantly, all of
the activities allow girls to have fun in an inclusive
all girls environment!
By participating in Girl Scouts, girls balance
their social and academic interests by mixing and
matching our events to best suit their needs. Girls
can experience sports with college athletes, explore
their artistic talents with drama or dance, discover
how lasers and robots work, and even examine
their natural environment at one of our camps.
Girls are also able to choose to be active in a classic
Troop setting of girls, or they may choose to experi-
ence Girl Scouts as an individual.
No matter how girls choose to participate in
Girl Scouts, the benefits are endless. Through every
Girl Scout activity, you will find that Girl Scouts
strives to instill strong values in every girl. Values
that teach girls to be kind and caring, responsible for
what they say and do, to embrace diversity, to be a
sister to every Girl Scout, and to give back to their
community. Girl Scouts also works to help girls
develop their leadership skills. From the youngest
Daisy Girl Scout, girls are encouraged to take part in
decision-making processes inside and outside of
their Troop. And as they grow, so does their level of
responsibility for making decisions.
As we look ahead to the years to come, we
know the future is filled with promise but also chal-
lenges. We know that girls growing up today will
need to be prepared to take on challenges involving
a broad range of issues. We are striving in every
way possible to supply today's girls with a balance
of skills and experiences that will help them be
ready for all the future may bring. Today, we move
forward with a continuing commitment to provide
a variety of amazing experiences from which every
girl can benefit.
Why Volunteer?People volunteer for many reasons. It ben-
efits society and it enhances the quality of life
for all people. It gives the volunteer a chance
to connect to members of their community and
it fulfills their moral, religious, and civic respon-
sibilities. Volunteering allows each of us to
make a difference in a small way in our own
community, and it rewards us in ways that
make our efforts well worth the time and trou-
ble we have invested.
In Girl Scouts, there are a wealth of volun-
teer opportunities that require a variety of dif-
ferent skills and time commitments. You can
volunteer for an hour, a day, a week, a month,
or a year. Adults serve in positions ranging
from Troop Leaders to Science Mentors to Area
Organizers to Event Volunteers. There are
opportunities available for both women and
men. Volunteers are the heart of Girl Scouting.
In fact, more than 99% of adults in Girl
Scouting are volunteers.
Volunteering can be one of the most
rewarding experiences in life. If you are already
a Girl Scout volunteer, thank you for your time
and participation. If you are not a Girl Scout
volunteer, please accept this as your personal
invitation to join us on a journey of caring.

Welcome to another exciting year of Girl Scouting!
I’m sure you'll agree - our girls are our future – some-
thing worth investing in. As society’s needs change,
Pines of Carolina Girl Scout Council is there providing
valuable programs for our girls. I was amazed to real-
ize that the council's cost to serve just one of our girls
is $148! Through support from the Family Partnership
Campaign we are providing a sound investment in
programs for girls.
My wife, Betty, and I are pleased to be chairing
this year's Campaign. The value of the Campaign
becomes more important as funding from other
sources such as United Way, corporations, and
foundations become less secure.
Without the Family Partnership Campaign, the
important work being done by Pines of Carolina Girl
Scout Council would be severely impacted. You'll be
pleased to know that Pines of
Carolina uses money wisely
with more than 89% of rev-
enue going toward program
services. Those efforts help
our girls grow into confident, responsible, contributing
members of society. Through funds raised, they have
developed and implemented initiatives such as science
and technology activities, science camp, a financial fit-
ness program, violence prevention efforts, health
issue seminars, day and overnight camps, and high
adventure opportunities such as caving, backpacking,
and sailing.
Betty and I believe strongly in Girl Scouting. We
have seen strong development in our own daughters
through their Girl Scout experiences. I am sure the
other 21,000 girls have broadened their horizons as
well. Please help us continue that tradition by invest-
ing today.
We are hoping to reach a Family Partnership goal
of $53,000 this year that could help serve more than
330 girls in classic Troop settings, support more than
15 day camps, provide more than 167 camping
opportunities to disadvantaged girls, or provide
transportation for more than 100 field trips. Please
give today for our future.
Sincerely,
Jim and Betty Bradley

Girl Scouts –
A Balanced Program_
W hen I moved to Bladen County, I
knew almost no one. Now, five years
later, my daughters and I have a large network of people
we are proud to call friends.
How did I meet such wonderful people? It all
started when my daughters brought home a flyer
about Girl Scouts. Remembering how much fun I had
as a Girl Scout, I did not hesitate to sign up my girls.
However, like most other adults, I hesitated to check
off the spot that said I would like to volunteer.
Something about the word "volunteer" is intimidating.
However, I went ahead and checked off that spot and I
have yet to regret it.
When I first began to volunteer as Co-Leader of my
daughter's Troop, I was doing it solely for my girls benefit.
Although that remains my primary reason for volunteer-
ing, the personal benefits I have gained have made quite
an impact on me. I have watched my girls flourish as they
have participated in the Girl Scout program. I have
watched them gain skills that have helped them with
their schoolwork and will help them for the rest of their
lives. Watching my girls live by the Girl Scout Promise
and Law while maturing into teenagers has made me
very proud. They have been exposed to opportunities
that as a single
mother, I would never have been able to provide.
As the years have passed, I have become more and
more involved in Girl Scouts and I encourage any parent
and girl to join Girl Scouts. A recent experience best
explains why. I told my daughters that I had volunteered
our family to help at an event for younger girls. They
wanted to know, "Why do we have to help when it is not
an event for us?” My response, "It is a lot of work to put
together these events, and it takes a lot of volunteers.
They need all the help they can get. When you see some-
one who needs
help, you
should not wait
to be asked; you
just help them
out. It might be
a lot of work but
it will make you
a better person
and that is the
best reward.”
Several
weeks later, we
were at a public
event not related to Girl Scouts. I sat back and watched
with pride as my daughters pitched in and helped. I
want what every parent wants for his or her child:
a happy, healthy, and productive life. The Girl Scout pro-
gram has given my daughters and me a good founda-
tion for that life.
Although receiving awards is not why I volunteer, I
was incredibly touched to receive the Silver Pine Cone,
a prestigious Girl Scout award, earlier this year. It
means so much to know that my peers consider me
worthy of such an honor. I am always telling my daugh-
ters that they should strive to be proper role models for
younger girls. Now I truly feel like a proper role model
for my own daughters and for this, I thank Girl Scouts.
Nicole, Danielle, and I wish to extend our sincerest
gratitude to all our Girl Scout family for their friendship,
support, and for everything else we have personally
received from our involvement in Girl Scouts. We invite
all of you to join us for the fun!

What Girl Scouting Has Done For MeBy: Judy Gallant - Bladen County Volunteer
One of the major benefits of participating
in Girl Scouts is the opportunity for girls to
build leadership skills. By becoming a
Program Aide, Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts,
girls ages 11-17, have a special opportunity
to expand their leadership skills while provid-
ing community service and working with
younger girls.
To become a Program Aide, a girl must
participate in a one-day Program Aide Core
Training that focuses on characteristics of girls,
the Girl Scout program, teaching methods,
and learning styles. A girl must also have
completed sixth grade and be a registered
member of Pines of Carolina Girl Scout
Council. After completing Program Aide Core
training, girls have the opportunity to develop
their skills in specific interest areas by attend-
ing a Program Aide Specialty Training.
Program Aide specialty trainings cover a
broad range of topics. Girls who enjoy camp-
ing may be interested in participating in
Camp Ambassador or Day Camp specialty
training. A Camp Ambassador helps promote
the fun of resident and day camp to Troops of
girls. Day Camp Program Aides help with the
daily operation of day camp by assisting with
a unit of girls or in a specific program area.
If the environment and the outdoors
interest your daughter, she should explore the
Outdoor Skills and Needles and Cones
specialty trainings. Girls will improve their camp-
ing techniques, learn survival skills, and discover
how to share their knowledge of compass
navigation, fire building, outdoor cooking, and
the Leave No Trace camping philosophy.
Sports fans and adrenaline addicts will be
intrigued by the Sports, Games, and Alpine
Tower specialty trainings. Through the Sports
specialty, girls will learn how to teach the
mechanics of a sport and be able to discuss
the many benefits of participating in physical
activity. In the Games specialty, girls learn
how to be a successful game leader and how
to identify safety concerns, anticipate difficul-
ties, and adapt games to any group or situa-
tion. Program Aides who are at least 16 years
old can learn the skills needed to be a belayer
at Pines of Carolina's 50-foot tall climbing
experience – the Alpine Tower.
Girls may also choose to participate in the
Arts and Crafts, Ceremonies, Songs, and
Science specialty trainings. Each of these
four specialty areas allow girls to enhance
their skills while learning how to break these
topics in to educational and fun activities.
To learn more about the Program
Aide opportunities and how to register
for a workshop, refer to GO! magazine.

Leadership, Service, and Just Plain Fun
T he NC Girl Scout Page Program provides
opportunities for Girl Scouts to explore the
inner workings of the government while serving as
Pages during Girl Scout Week each March.
The NC Girl Scout Page Program is a wonderful
experience for Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts. As a
Page, you are well respected and you are treated as an
adult. Your workday lasts from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm just
like any other government employee. You have the
opportunity to choose to stay with a host family in
downtown Raleigh or drive daily from home.
First thing in the morning, you report to the
Administration Building to collect the mail for the
department to which you are assigned - mine was the
Department of Revenue (DOR). You are also assigned a
"contact person" or supervisor that you have to report
to and sometimes you even get to have your own
office – I did! I had an office inside the Secretary of
Revenue's office. After you collect the mail, you deliver
it to your department. After I delivered the mail to the
DOR, I took their outgoing mail and delivered it to the
appropriate government offices in downtown Raleigh.
It was a lot of walking but the weather was beautiful!
Aside from my duties at the DOR, I got to know
the 12 other Girl Scout Pages during our tours of the
museums and historical buildings in the area. When we
toured the State Capital, we had the chance to stand
on the roof and look over all of Raleigh. It was beauti-
ful! However, the real highlight of the week was
attending a reception at the Executive Mansion and
meeting Governor Mike Easley.
Like always, we also found a way to give back to
our community as Girl Scouts. We worked at a food
bank sorting and distributing food for the community.
We also took turns serving food at a soup kitchen and
working in a community day care. When our Page
week ended, we were sad because we had become
such good friends and had such a great time.
Being a Girl Scout Page opens your eyes to things
you never knew before. I learned so much about the
government. I got to see first-hand how it operates and
I actually feel like I became a part of it. I got to see what
it was like to work in an executive office and I found out
what it was like to be entrusted with adult responsibili-
ties. It sharpened my social and organizational skills and
taught me to live by a schedule and be prompt.
However, the best part was making great new friends.
Being a Girl Scout Page is an experience I'll never forget.
The NC Girl Scout Page Program is available to registered Girl
Scouts ages 15-18. Girls are selected through applications,
interviews, and good academic standing. Applications are
available through the Raleigh Service Center and are due by
October 25, 2002. Interviews will be held on November 9,
2002. For more information, please call the Director of Older
Girl Program at 919-782-3021, ext. 3337.
Although the number of female athletes is
growing, too many girls still sit on the sidelines
watching boys slam-dunk or sprint toward the
finish line. As spectators, girls miss the chance
to develop skills that will help them succeed
and habits that can
keep them healthy.
Getting your
daughter involved
in sports is easy
and you don't have
to be a great ath-
lete. Regular physi-
cal activity in ado-
lescence can
reduce girls' risk
for obesity and help them build greater peak
bone mass. It is also an effective tool for reduc-
ing symptoms of stress and depression. Physical
activity and participation in sports can enhance
mental health by increasing girls' positive feelings
about body image, improving their self-esteem,
and offering them tangible experiences of com-
petency and success.
The key is helping every girl find a sport
that is just right for her; one in which she can
experience success, have fun, and participate
for a lifetime. Whether it's soccer, golf, diving,
bicycling, or cheerleading – the most important
thing is that girls get encouragement and posi-
tive messages about their ability to play sports
and participate in physical activity.
Take the time to help introduce your
daughter to the wide range of sports available.
Take her to a Carolina Courage soccer game,
attend a women's basketball game, and encour-
age her to participate in a council-sponsored
sports event like Be A Sport or the UNC-
Chapel Hill Volleyball Game & Clinic. Whatever
you do, get out, get moving, and have fun!

With more than $7 million in new grant commitments during 2006, the pace of
growth at WaterPartners continued to accelerate. In May, the Agora Foundation, a
donor-advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, announced a $4
million grant over four years. Spearheaded by Agora founder Wynnette LaBrosse, it is
one of the largest single grants to a non-profit group focused on the world water crisis.
Also in 2006, WaterPartners received a $3.1 million grant commitment from the Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation as part of a $9.5 million grant to a consortium.
During the past year, WaterPartners worked with 13 local partner organizations
and more than 50 communities to establish safe water
and sanitation facilities for approximately 40,000 people.
Fourteen projects were completed and 12 new projects
launched. The innovative WaterCredit
Initiative™ comprised nearly half
of total partner funds dispersed.

Regional Feature:
India’s huge and growing population (the second largest in the world) has put
a severe strain on its natural resources. Many traditional water sources are
contaminated and poverty is widespread. While India has made some progress
in supplying water to its people, gross disparity in coverage exists across the
country. Hygiene practices are also a problem, with latrine usage and hand-
washing rates extremely low. Diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths
each day. In order to decrease the spread of disease, latrine usage and
hygiene must improve simultaneously.
The slum of Valmikingar is filled with people. Children
run barefoot through the small pathways that wind
around people’s homes. Open sewage systems flow
throughout the area, and children make a game of jumping over them. Most
people have come from rural areas looking for work, but families still struggle to
earn more than a couple of dollars a day. Even several generations after arrival,
money earned does not meet daily needs.
Manjula, a 35-year-old-woman who cleans public streets for a living, lives in
Valmikingar with her husband and four children. The family shares a room that is
15x20 feet and contains an area for sleeping and another area for the kitchen.
Only a few months ago they did not have a separate space for bathing or a toilet.
Instead, they walked half a mile to a public toilet shared by more than 250 other

Art and the Spread of Buddhism:
A Conversation with Dorothy WongDorothy Wong is associate professor of art at the
University of Virginia specializing in Buddhist art of
early medieval China and East Asia. Born and raised
in Hong Kong, she studied art history, literature, and
philosophy at the International Christian University in
Tokyo before pursuing her master’s degree in Chinese
art at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and her
Ph.D. in art history from Harvard University. Her
familiarity and facility with multiple traditions across
Asia has provided a unique perspective and training
for appreciating the transmission of religious and
aesthetic traditions throughout Asia.
As the 2011-12 Henry Luce Fellow at the National Humanities Center she
worked on a study of the formation of an international Buddhist art idiom in
East Asia during the seventh and eighth centuries, sometimes called the Tang
International Buddhist Art Style. Exploring the role of political leaders and
merchants as well as missionaries and pilgrims, her work examines the means
through which various agents transmitted and shaped Buddhist material
culture throughout the region.
Q: Can you share a bit about your background and training?
WONG: I grew up in Hong Kong a generation after the Second World War in a
family that didn’t emphasize religion at all. But without really knowing a great
deal about Christianity, I went to a Catholic elementary school and a Protestant
high school. Then I applied for a scholarship that turned out to fund a four-year
scholarship to Japan at International Christian University. The university was
founded after the Second World War, and it was modeled after the small liberal
arts college in the US. I majored in art history, in addition to literature and
philosophy—the humanities, really—and the most prominent university of
Hong Kong didn’t even have art history as a discipline then. So I was glad I had
this opportunity to discover something new, and I think going abroad at a very
early age was very important because I learned that my own cultural values
were different from others. I also traveled a lot, to Kyoto and Nara, and saw
how beautiful the art and architecture of Buddhism was.

Tips To Share With Customers
• When it’s 110 in the shade and you cross the threshold to extreme air conditioning, you’re equipped with your own personal climate control.
• The shawl can be your most versatile accessory. From a day in the country to a night at the ballet – from jeans to presentations to formal soirees, Shawlsmith London can wrap you in style.
Selecting The Perfect Shawl
You’ve heard it a million times. Less is more. Same goes for shawls – so don’t overdo it. Prints and patterns, when covering the entire body, tend to make an individual look larger. Minimize by wearing a solid garment and add zest with a print or patterned shawl that is in scale with bone structure and facial features.
Visual therapist, Rebecca Karpus as Shawlsmith London’s fashion director. Karpus brings her lifelong passion for fashion and art to Shawlsmith London’s mission to enhance the feminine mystique with drape and color.
“It is a honor to have Rebecca on board,” says Rehman Chaudry, owner of Shawlsmith London. “With more than two decades in the industry, her expertise brings a tremen-dous resource to us as well as to our buyers.”
Karpus’ philosophy is that every female is an evolving canvas, and each should see her face and body as an artist, that revives every feature, during life’s many passages. She believes that every woman must view each stage of her personal evolution as fresh material for self-expression and unique style.
“Shawlsmith London’s !ne collection of luxury shawls, scarves and stoles, are the perfect fashion accessory to make any woman beautiful - no matter the occasion,” says Karpus. “My goal is that this newsletter will be a great resource to help communicate the versatility of shawls.”
