In Support of Perserving Our Hot Mineral Waters in Desert Hot Springs

The W.O.W. Ad Hoc Committee (Write for Our Water) is a group of concerned citizens of Desert Hot Springs and are supportors of Senator Barbara Boxer's push to get the money needed to complete Desert Hot Springs' sewer system. The committee is actively soliciting as many as possible to rally to the cause of perserving our hot mineral waters in Desert Hot Springs. The committee encourages people to write letters in support to designated members of Congress (See below). Accordingly, we at the Lido Palms Resort and Spa are requesting our guestbase to lend your support to this cause.
By visiting the W.O.W. Ad Hoc Committees website: www.writeforourwater.org you'll find the following information:
1. Copy of The Desert Sun Op-Ed piece dated April 11, 2010 which overviews the issues in detail.

2. A copy of the Mission Springs Water District pamphlet with additional clarifying important information.

3. Sample letters addressed to Senators Boxer and Feinstein (...Senator Boxer is sponsoring the bill that would authorizes the needed $35,000,000 to complete the sewer project and rid us of septic tanks.)

4. Samples letters to Congress members Mary Bono Mack and Jerry Lewis.

5. These letters, on the website, are in downloadable format and can be personalized by you - feel free to make changes, etc. What we need is for you to send the letters to all 4 Representatives.

6. We would also like to you to share the website with friends, neighbors, business associates, family and organizations you may belong to....we need letters sent, as many as possible. (...the letters don't need to come from just the Mission Springs Water District service area - but from any and all interested parties in the Coachella Valley....you could say we're at the "head waters" and what happens to our water could very easily affect the entire Valley.)
The committee thanks you for taking a few minutes to familiarize yourself on the issues and hopes we can count on you to send in those letters of support - it means jobs, increased property value and most importantly it protects our precious water - both hot and cold.

Lido Palms Resort and Spa is the Setting for Women's Spiritual Retreats

In the July, 2010 issue of the San Deigo Jewish Journal, Pamela Price has written an article on the women's retreats periodically hosted by Olivia Schwartz at the Lido Palms Resort and Spa in Desert Hot Springs. Olivia Schwartz is the co-director of the Chai Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the Jewish community in greater Los Angeles.
Pamela notes that Olivia Schwartz is a firm believer in spa culture. In Olivia’s view, the natural hot mineral water pools and the spa treatments at the Lido Palms are particularly conducive to her program for spiritual and physical growth and nurturing. Among the diverse group of women in attendance at Olivia's last retreat held in April were several guests from Israel, Persia and Russia. Shimona Tzukernik, the founder and director of OMEK, a center devoted to in-depth transformational learning for women, was the featured speaker and hails from South Africa.
Pamela has written for Forbes Traveler.com and is the co-author of "100 Best Spas of the World"
