Each one-of-akind bracelet represents the story about the woman who wears it and all the moments she encounters in her life's journey; both big and small. They tell of the times that made her laugh, the memories she holds dear, and her moments of accomplishment and joy.

James and the Giant Peach - Nov 30, Dec 1, Dec 2,
2012
An orphaned boy named James lives oppressed by two nasty, selfcentered, mean aunts. After coming across some magical beans and spilling them, James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero! This beloved Roald Dahl children's fantasy is of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects - a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred shoes. Their adventures aboard a giant, luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic
Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks, and skies filled with seagulls. This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know.
Come one, come all to the CCH Public Open House on December 9,

from noon to 5 pm.
We hope to see you there; bring your family and friends for this exciting unveiling!
Chelsea Community Hospital cordially invites you to an Open House
