Celebration of Life Month - January is the first month in a New Year.  New beginnings that are yours for the taking.  Celebrate your life, celebrate what you have and do something for yourself.     Get the girls together and do a Girls Getaway at the Holiday Inn Elmira Riverview or grab the family and head over to the Holiday Inn Express Horseheads for their Gaffer Area Journey Package and take a view into lives of the past at the Rockwell Museum and Corning Museum of Glass. Whatever you do... Cheers to Life and Cheers to you!

National Soup Month - There are many different variations of this family favorite that has been around for ages.  When you are sick or when you need a quick dinner soup is always a great filling choice.  Now that the holidays have come and gone the giving has lessened but the need for food hasn't, so why not honor the month by giving to your local food bank!

 

One thing that most of us do when it comes to ringing in the New Year is making a resolution to better our self.  With the best intentions we start strong and then a few months into it, we tend to find that it has become harder to 'stick with it.'

 

Here are some great tips to help you keep to your New Year's resolution, whether it is to lose a little weight, stop smoking, get a little more organized or what ever else you might be trying to do.

Good Luck, Best Wishes and Happy New Year - - YOU CAN DO IT! 

From our Guest Services Manager, Stephanie, at the Holiday Inn Elmira Riverview!
