A great time was had by the 12 or so women who attended the get together at member Christina Ellwood’s home on Sunday, September 13th. Lots of great food, drink, conversation. We took the opportunity to have an open discussion on what the members would like to see from the organization. If you have any ideas please send them to women21century@gmail.com .

Testimonial below from Cecilia Trost, Women of the 21st Century Club member since our first year, shows the loyalty O Spa has built from this frequent customer!
"I have been a weekly O Spa client and huge fan for over a year now. I met Lori and her team in 2008 when I rented O Spa for an afternoon to have my 6 sisters and Mom celebrate a significant birthday. Wow...everyone at O Spa did a spectacular job@... it was all so beyond all our p. I am a business owner myself, so recognized the incredible commitment to client delight that Lori has made her mantra, and everyone on her staff has delivered that level of commitment every time I have been at O Spa...I continue to be a huge, huge fan of O Spa...O Spa is an Alameda business worth everyone's support !!!
