GREER WYLDER -- Best Buys

Images, a full-service hair and nail salon, is planning a cut-a-thon

to help raise money to fight breast cancer from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept.

10. The event will offer $25 haircuts and $10 manicures.

Images is sponsoring breast cancer survivor Chava Wortrich in the Avon

Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk from Santa Barbara to Malibu. Wortrich was

diagnosed with breast cancer in January 1999. Following surgery and

chemotherapy, she is now cancer-free. To celebrate the success of her

treatment, Wortrich and her daughter, Tali, will join more than 3,000

others to walk 60 miles in the annual walk Oct. 27-29. Her goal is to

raise $10,000 in pledges for the event.

The entire staff at Images will participate in supporting Wortrich in

the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk.

All proceeds from the cut-a-thon will go to the Avon Breast Cancer

Foundation. In addition to being a significant fund-raiser, Avon’s walk

raises awareness for breast cancer, honors the women who survived and

remembers those who have lost their life to this disease.

If you’re interested in supporting this worthy cause by participating

in the cut-a-thon, call the salon at (949) 675-5531. Prepaid donations

reserve an appointment time, so please schedule accordingly. Images is at

2515 E. Coast Highway, Corona del Mar.

Promeli’s Market will hold a cooking demonstration featuring the

Oregon Cedar Grill from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday. The Oregon Cedar Grill has

been featured in Gourmet magazine, Bon Appetit, Sunset magazine, the Los

Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and on a number of cooking channels.

“Our cedar-plank cooking method is in its third year of providing

people with a gourmet presentation and recipe for grilling salmon and

other seafoods and meats,� said Harry Aldrich, company president. “Women

are our greatest customers, as they love the simplicity and theme

opportunity the plank allows for an outdoor dinner party.�

The Oregon Cedar Grill Co. has made it possible to create your own

cedar-plank salmon feast on an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue. The 100%

natural cedar is milled to an ideal thickness for evenly cooking the

finest filets of tuna and salmon, or pork tenderloins, ribs and chicken.

Preparation is easy. Simply soak a plank in water, and then prepare the

gas or charcoal grill. When the coals are ready, arrange the filet on the

plank directly on your barbecue grill and cover. The Oregon Cedar Grill

will begin to smolder and the salmon will get a rich cedar flavor.

Promeli’s Market is at 2121 Westcliff Drive, Newport Beach. Information:
