Toms River, NJ (September 11, 2017) On Sunday, October 15, 2017, Calgo Gardens will be hosting a Day of Wellness featuring Music in the Garden, a benefit event for Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey (CVCJ) and its Connection Thru Music program. The event takes place from 11:00 a.m – 4:00 p.m. Live music will be featured throughout the day, with performances by recording artist Dave Vargo, singer-songwriters Billy Simmons and Vic Della Pello, and musicians Will and Jack Santoro, James Sleeman, Rosa Lees, and Sophia Montalbano.

A donation of $10 is requested in support of this organization. Donors are entitled to a 10% discount in the Barn, and entry into giveaways and prizes. In addition, a portion of sales from the Tulip Tree Café will benefit CVCJ.

Connection Thru Music matches youth with seniors suffering with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, creating connections through the power of music memory that build a bridge to memories and sense of self otherwise lost to the disease.

While there, take advantage of the Yoga Loft’s Wellness Fair. Vendors include Reiki Master Claire Sadankas, Angel Readings by Reverend Katie Grace Pepe, Adrienne Gammal on the healing benefits of crystals, henna tattoos by Khushi Khamma, Jersey Shore Body Wraps, Nancy Schmidt’s crystal bowls, Astrology by Marissa Winters, The Garden’s local honey, and chiropractor Dr. Jodi Kinney. Medium Lisa P will connect you with loved ones who have crossed over, and Janice M will help you connect with the Spirit and offer guidance and life direction. Cream Ridge Winery will offer wine tastings. Fees and/or class card specials may apply.

Also, the Central Jersey Blood Bank Blood Mobile will be on site for blood donations. Please call 732-919-7770 to schedule an appointment.
