From the

Towne Lake Business Association

The leader of this month's Lunch 'N' Learn Workshop was Joe Gandolfo of Gandolfo Enterprises, Inc. His topic affected me profoundly. Rather than addressing ordinary business issues, Joe focused on the "balance" between business and family. Those business owners out there know exactly what I'm talking about. As we work long hours and then take our work home with us, we realize there really is not a release or a way of letting it go for just a few hours!

My point is this - remember to call a timeout as you are working away at your career, so that you won't wake up one day and realize that your kids are grown and you are left wondering what happened. Get a balance, create a good team that you can lead, and empower them to help your business grow, as if it were their own. Step aside, encourage, coach, and develop a winning attitude. Two things will happen. First of all, you will become a better parent and spouse, and second you just might even grow your business with some fresh ideas.

Speaking of winning, congratulations to the Woodstock High School varsity football team for breaking their long losing streak. I know it feels great. Build on it, believe in yourself and your teammates. Businesses can certainly learn from this example by trusting your team and mentally preparing for victory even in times of adversity.

At the time of this writing, we are just a few days from our 3rd Annual TLBA Golf Tournament benefiting our Entrepreneurial Scholarship Fund. I would like to thank our sponsors, players and volunteers for their continuing support. I will give you an update in next month's column.

As always, we thank you for supporting our local businesses, and thus, our Towne Lake area community, and for "Keeping Towne Lake Dollars in Cherokee."

Jim Allan and Starr Rowland of the
Sauna Care Center

Sauna Care Center, Inc. has been at its location on Towne Lake Parkway since January 2003. Sauna Care Center offers the latest technology in harmless Radiant Heat Saunas. The Center is owned by Starr Rowland and Jim Allan.

Radiant Heat Infrared Saunas utilize the age-old process of heating the body to promote better health. These saunas use the latest in ceramic infrared heaters to generate a harmless heat that penetrates the body tissues 1 to 1½ inches deep. Because these heaters warm the body instead of the air around the body, they are three times more effective and much more comfortable than conventional saunas. Infrared Saunas help your body to naturally remove toxins, relieve pain, ease stress, burn large amounts of calories and many more benefits.

The Sauna Care Center offers two options to its customers. The first option allows customers to purchase a session in one of their units. Sessions are offered in clean, private rooms that contain the sauna unit, a dressing area, and a sink with filtered water. Each unit is sanitized between uses. Clean towels are provided.

The second option lets customers "try it before you buy it!" This concept ensures customers will be satisfied with their purchase. There are several models, sizes, and wood types to choose from and local installation is available.

In addition to sauna services, professional massage therapy is also available at the Sauna Care Center.

Starr and Jim are both residents of Cherokee County. Starr has several years of medical and management experience, and Jim has several years experience in medical sales and management.

Sauna Care Center is located at 160 Towne Lake Parkway. For more information call 770-592-8883 or 770-235-9954. You can also visit them at www.saunacarecenter.com.
