Just Calm Down Spa Donates Proceeds of Auction to Helen Keller International’s Tsunami Disaster Relief Efforts

New York, March 29, 2005 – From January 18th through February 28th, Just Calm Down, A Jewel of a Spa, held a silent auction of original, Valentine's Day-inspired paintings by New York City artist Robert Witkow.  The spa raised $875.00 from the auction of fourteen pieces of artwork, and 100% of the proceeds were generously donated to Helen Keller International's tsunami disaster relief fund.  Working with other nongovernmental organizations under the aegis of the United Nations, Helen Keller International (HKI) has been working in Indonesia since the disaster occurred.  HKI is providing needed micronutrients to help improve the health of the victims of the tsunami, and is also conducting a rapid emergency assessment to help coordinate relief efforts. HKI is still accepting contributions at http://www.hki.org/about/press_releases/tsunami_relief.htm  Mr. Witkow's work can be seen at this local spa; for more information, please refer to http://www.justcalmdownspa.com/, or call 212.337.0032.
