Chiropractic - Not Just About Bones
 
Chad WeinzetlAt one time, I thought chiropractors just adjusted the bones in your back to be sure your spine and nervous system were operating properly.  While that's true, it turns out that they do far more than I ever realized. 
 
It wasn't until I started working with Dr. Chad Weinzelt that I realized that chiropractors take a holistic approach to your overall health.  I have even had Dr. Chad do a complete evaluation of my health.
 
Dr. Weinzetl offers free monthly health presentations on a wide variety of subjects.  This month's topic - "Are Antacids Killing You?"  It will be held Tuesday, September 23, at 6:30 PM at his Lifestyle Wellness Center in Plano in the Plaza on Legacy shopping center (4140 Legacy Drive at Coit Road) between Sprouts and Hobby Lobby.

How to Decide?
 
Democrat or Republican
Regardless of your politics, we can all agree that this year's election is historic.  But one thing that remains the same is that our decisions on who to vote for should be made based on facts and not commercials.
 
A group of friends recently got together and researched the positions of John McCain and Barak Obama.  The result is a non-partisan report covering many issues.  They created this as a public service and gave me permission to include this in my newsletter.  They also said that you can share it with anyone you like.  They don't want credit.  They just want thoughtful voting.  I haven't changed a thing.  Their resources are shown at the bottom.  Judge for yourself and happy voting.

Available Subleases
Atrium at Collin Ridge
Get 'em while they're hot!
 
Subleases are an inexpensive option to lease space.  They are also often short-term which allows for greater flexibility when a company's future isn't exactly crystal clear.
 
Visit the Properties page in my website. It features the excess space we have listed which our clients no longer need.  The current inventory includes a class A office suite in Plano, a flex space in Richardson, and office space on the Tollway in Addison.
 
If you know of a company which has more space than they need, I'd like to know about it.
 
To see what's available, click the link called Available Subleases in the Reata Links section above.
Are There Any Answers?
What is truth?
Is God really involved?
If there's only one God, why so many churches?
 
These are just a few of the questions addressed in a great Christian seminar going on right now just off of Highway 75 & Stacy Road.  This is presented by regular people.  No slick TV preachers here.
 
Every night there are two different topics.  The seminar is at 7:00 PM through October 4 except Wednesdays & Sundays.  Click for a flyer with more information.
