MBK LEADS FOOD COLLECTION FOR OPEN PANTRY With COVID-19, the need for organizations such as Open Pantry Community Services has grown. Matt Ogrodowicz of Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C., led a charge to collect food and donations at MBK for a 2-week period. Matt shared their mission as well as Open Pantry’s high demand items which include: cereal, pasta, canned chicken, canned fruit, canned veggies, peanut butter and spaghetti sauce. Staff at MBK donated food and/or money, which Matt used to shop for additional items on the high-demand list. With the combined efforts, MBK was able to make a donation of 279 lbs. of food to Open Pantry!

huge investments in obtaining and installing numerous systems to prevent transmission of the virus in our office. We have installed new systems to provide increased ventilation and more frequent room air exchanges. Our AC system now has UV light disinfection and filtration to provide a safe and clean air supply. All office areas are cold fogged (ask us) to remove airborne viruses after every patient visit. We have also installed several different types of air evacuation systems to remove any aerosols generated during dental procedures. We are using ALL of the

We have instituted new patient flow protocols to insure social distancing is maintained and screen all patients prior to entering our office. We understand that such major investments may impact the cost of dental care, but our top priority has and always will be the safety of our patients. We hope to continue earning your trust and look forward to welcoming our patients back.

WHAT WE BELIEVE We believe through the skills taught in our dance center, children develop a positive self-image as well as life long memories and friendships. We are committed to providing a fun, rewarding and family-like atmosphere at all times. Thought is given to each child’s personality, strengths, individual gifts and sensitivities in order to draw out the best in each student.

HOW WE ARE UNIQUE All-Stars Dance Center is one of the only facilities in Western Massachusetts dedicated to superior dance instruction. We have the convenience of Roots Gymnastics Center and Thom Westfield Infant & Toddler in the same building, which is just across the bridge from Roots Aquatics and Fitness Center and Roots Learning Center. This center is an interactive arena for children to grow and develop in activities that build self-confidence and positive behavior. Our Dance Instructors are certified to teach by Dance Masters of America. Classes are filling up fast, but it’s not too late to enroll.

GREENRIGHT DESIGN

Westfield Lifestyle | September 2020

THIS DESIGN WAS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN GREENRIGHT DESIGN, ANN SCALISI AND THE OWNER BILL STIEFEL, TO GUT AND REDESIGN THIS TWO STORY, 2,700 SQUARE FOOT HOME OVERLOOKING THE CONNECTICUT RIVER. Included in the extensive renovations, the first floor was opened up to alleviate the enclosed feeling of the space and improve traffic flow. The kitchen was completely demolished and reconfigured to include a peninsula for additional seating, farmhouse sink and floor to ceiling cabinetry. The second floor added a fully equipped laundry room and took a claustrophobic master bath and converted it into a luxury suite complete with a roll-in-shower and slipper tub. The jewel of the project comes in the form of a new home theater situated in the once unfinished basement. Extensive use of detailing and a ”stage” gives the theater a nostalgic feel. A food preparation counter with a dorm type refrigerator and microwave and a new lavatory completes the package. PerfectView Remodeling, East Windsor, CT was the general contractor.

THE STYLES YOU WANT + HOW TO GET THEM

INSPIRED BY

Westfield Lifestyle | September 2020

The FADE

+ hard part straight short

in between medium

thick + curly long

what it is There are many different types of fades, but ultimately a fade haircut is one that tapers in length the further down you go on the back and sides, meaning it isnâ€™t trimmed to just one standard length all around. The level of fade (low, mid or high) depends on what point the shortest part of the hair begins to fade into a longer length. ASK FOR Taper fade, low fade, mid fade, high fade or skin fade

The man bun + what it is This popular style is good for many types of hair as long as you have a lot of it. Youâ€™ll need length in the front, back and sides generally long enough to at least brush your shoulders. KEEP IT CLEAN Be sure to keep your sideburns and neckline trimmed even as your hair grows out.

straight short

in between medium

thick + curly long

The quiff

+ what it is Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back. The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take. ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to brush back instead of standing straight up.
