Marine Corps Veteran and Multi-Unit Operator Brian Weinstein to Bring Anti-Aging Franchise to Loudoun County.

‍‍Serotonin Centers, an emerging anti-aging/longevity franchise that is rapidly expanding nationwide, has secured an agreement to develop four franchise locations in Northern Virginia. While the Serotonin Centers site selection team is looking into potential sites throughout Loudoun and Fairfax County, the company has identified Sterling, Ashburn, Great Falls, and Reston as prime markets for the new franchise locations.

The new Serotonin Centers franchises will be operated by Brian Weinstein, a Marine Corps veteran who brings years of business operations experience as the owner of two successful senior home-care franchises. Weinstein said he is excited to expand his franchise brand portfolio with the addition of Serotonin Centers – the nation's first franchise brand to enter the anti-aging and hormone treatment space. With a tiered membership model, Serotonin Centers offers a lineup of next-level wellness and longevity treatment options, including cutting-edge hormone restoration, aesthetic enhancement, weight management, immunity recovery treatments and much more.

"Much in the same way that my senior-care businesses exist to improve quality of life, owning multiple Serotonin Centers franchises gives me an opportunity to extend that mission in a different way to a wider demographic of people," Weinstein said. "Serotonin's anti-aging products and services empower people to live longer, quality lives. I'm incredibly excited to be entering this booming niche of the health market through my investment in Serotonin Centers."

Eric Casaburi, founder and CEO of Serotonin Centers, said Weinstein is ideally suited as a multi-unit owner of the fast-growth franchise.

"Having owned and operated successful franchises with a passion for helping others achieve optimal health, Brian is a perfect fit for Serotonin Centers," Casaburi said. "These are the types of qualities we are seeking in entrepreneurs around the country to invest in our groundbreaking anti-aging brand."

Since opening its first location in Windermere, FL and then launching the franchise opportunity in 2021, Serotonin Centers has attracted interest from entrepreneurs around the country. The brand has already signed seven multi-unit development agreements for 43 new franchise locations, extending across the East Coast from Orlando and Southwest Florida, to Central New Jersey, Nashville, Southeast and Northern Virginia and Boston.

We’re serious about making Cleveland Park (and DC) better every day, and for us that means awesome cookies, a great customer experience, and giving back to the community.”

“We’re really looking forward to having a permanent, meaningful presence in the Cleveland Park neighborhood,” said Juliann Francis. “These long months of construction and permitting have shown us what great neighbors we have in this location, with so many people reaching out to share their excitement and support. This area clearly understands the importance of neighbors helping neighbors, and we’re glad to be a contributing part of that cycle—small business has such an important part to play in building community.”

The fun mural at the Cleveland Park store was painted by the talented team at Capital Murals. It captures the spirit of Captain Cookie's mission and features Captain Cookie flying with a plate of cookies and a glass of milk, symbolizing the company’s dedication to "Saving the World, One Cookie at a Time."

S’mores & More: A Captain Cookie Adventure

To celebrate the start of the fall season, patrons can try Captain Cookie's new s'mores cookies. It’s all the good parts of a campfire without getting smoke in your face: toasted graham crackers, chewy marshmallows, and velvety milk chocolate.

Alongside the tempting new special, there’s a cookie for everyone. Customers can indulge in the classic chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, double chocolate, confetti, peanut butter, and more. Captain Cookie also makes a serious offering for their vegan customers: a chocolate chip cookie using house-made vegan butter that is sure to please.

JAG-ONE Physical Therapy, one of the fastest-growing comprehensive physical and occupational therapy practices providing rehabilitative care to patients and sports teams in over 110 locations across the Northeast, today announced that Manville Public Schools, a proud partner of JAG-ONE Physical Therapy, have been awarded the 1st Team National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Safe Sports School Award.

The Safe Sports School Award recognizes secondary schools all over the country that go above and beyond to keep their athletes safe and free from injuries. JAG-ONE Physical Therapy worked with Daniel Cabral, head athletic trainer at Manville High School, to help Manville schools meet the criteria needed to be selected for this award. NATA has a list of requirements all athletic programs must adhere to in order to receive safe sports school status. Some of these requirements center around athletic injuries such as providing pre-participation physical examinations, developing injury and illness prevention strategies, and providing injury intervention. Other requirements focus more on the school's equipment and facilities, requiring they promote safe and appropriate practice and competition facilities, plan for proper selection and maintenance of athletic equipment, and provide an appropriately equipped area to evaluate and treat injured athletes.

“It is an honor to be awarded 1st Team NATA Safe Sports School! I am grateful for the recognition and the support from my Athletic Director Steve Venuto and Superintendent Jamil Maroun,” said Daniel Cabral, LAT, ATC, head athletic trainer at Manville High School.

NATA also requires that schools follow appropriate procedures including having a positive athletic healthcare administrative system and regularly rehearsing a venue-specific emergency action plan. NATA also looks at education and requires that the school provides psycho-social consultations, nutrition counseling/education, and makes sure athletes and parents are educated about the potential benefits and risks in sports as well as their responsibilities.

“JAG-ONE strives for all of our exclusive secondary school Athletic Training partnerships to attain and maintain all standards set forth by the NATA Safe Sports School initiative,” says Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS, senior director of athletic training for JAG-ONE Physical Therapy. “We are excited for Manville to join the ranks of our other Safe Sports partnerships, Bound Brook School District and Somerset County Vo-Tech!”

“JAG-ONE is proud to be partnered with Manville public schools,” says John Gallucci Jr., CEO of JAG-ONE Physical Therapy. “We are dedicated to helping schools further develop their athletic training programs and become safe sports schools.”

‍

‍West County Center, which contains 11 fast-casual and full-service restaurants, is located at I-270 & Manchester Road in Des Peres, Missouri.

They are then invited to share their photo on social media to give additional meals. The donations are funded by the mall.

Says Glantz, “Going to a mall is an experiential activity by nature where customers want to be engaged and joyful. That made it the perfect fit for a partnership. With GiftAMeal, mall visitors will be able to add an interactive, easy, socially-conscious element to their visit that will make them feel good about their experience.”

Throughout its 53 years, WIA proved to be highly adaptable and creative in its ongoing efforts to change concepts and attitudes about women as professional artists. WIA has presented art by women in major landmark exhibitions at the New York Cultural Center in “Women Choose Women,” and the Brooklyn Museum in “Works on paper Women artists,” and later at the Queens Museum of Art, Queens College Art Center, Pace University, Artists Equity Broome Street Gallery, St. Francis College, Canajoharie Library and Art Gallery, Weill Cornell Medical Center, the Venezuelan Consulate, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and at the corporate headquarters of Citi, Johnson and Johnson, Schering-Plough and Nabisco Brands.  WIA was among the first organizations to sponsor a series of workshops “The Business of Art for Artists” initiating educational programs for artists for which it received an NEA grant. WIA conducts an ongoing Speakers Series of art luminaries, curators, and art world professionals and publishes the WIA Newsletter.

Pictor Gallery, a fine art gallery located in the historic Landmark Arts Building in New York’s Chelsea District, today announced two new exhibits: "Just a Bit Quirky" featuring Jean Bundy, and "Seeing Red" featuring Barbara Brocklebank, Judith Longo, Tracy Mistichelli and Laurie Murray. The exhibits will be open from February 28 - March 25. 2023 in the Pictor Gallery at 547 West 27th Street, Suite 204 in New York City. The Gallery's hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with extended hours until 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays.

Please join us in our Celebration of Women's History Month for the opening reception for Just a Bit Quirky and Seeing Red on Thursday March 2, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Then on Thursday, March 16, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 pm, join us for an Artists Q & A. Guest Artists (TBA) will talk about how artists use color in different ways: to calm or to communicate or even to incite their viewers. Refreshments will be served.

Gallery 1: Just a Bit Quirky

‍Whether painting or writing, Jean Bundy employs the socio-political, quirky, and overlooked as her inspiration. Her use of colors works both visually and metaphorically, choosing hues that may coordinate or clash, but always bind together objectively. She has a writer’s knack for finding the essence of a topic. Her interests are wide-ranging and expansive, you might think her a bit eccentric, but Jean’s talent and passion is palpable. In her latest show, she examines topics that concern her – the environmental movement or politics, art history or friendship. Her expressive portraits and landscapes are always colorful and intriguing.

Gallery 2: Seeing Red

‍Barbara Brocklebank has been influenced by the color red throughout her life. Red has both inspired her and provided a powerful push into experimentation and discovery. Her travels, particularly in Asia, introduced her to red as a rallying motivator to action and change. Text, calligraphy and music are also elements in her work.
‍
For Tracy Mistichelli, seeing red equates to the Root Chakra or Muladhara, which is located in the base of the spine. Red is the color related to this Chakra which she says, grounds her and enables her to withstand challenges, which are plentiful in the art world.
‍
Judith Luongo has a passion to create art which explores that which is “felt” but may remain unspoken in the ongoing search for meaning and connection to ourselves and to others.
‍
Laurie Murray is passionate about color and for her it is very much a tool of her powerful,
expressive paintings. She states, “Red is exuberant: Dramatic sunsets, tropical flowers, bonfires. Yet, red rages at everything senseless and cruel. Outside of politics, red is emblematically me.”
