Record Growth for PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com
PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com Sets Records for Traffic, Listings, and Dresses Sold
(Toronto, Ontario) – Pointing to the economy as one reason, the owner of the premier site on the web for new, sample, and used designer wedding dresses is announcing a record-setting third quarter. PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com, which connects buyers to sellers of high quality dresses, broke its own record for traffic, dresses listed, and gowns sold.
Site owner Josie Daga launched PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com in 2004 after she tried unsuccessfully to sell her dress by existing methods. The web site connects buyers to sellers of new, sample and used designer wedding dresses. Ms. Daga says she believes the current economic climate is an obvious contributor to the increases.
“In any economic conditions, buying a pre-owned wedding gown makes good sense. In this current economy, it makes incredibly good sense,” says Daga. She also credits the site’s wide selection of gowns as well as its advanced search features for the rise in sales.
PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com has seen steady growth since its inception, and has had a record year overall this year. In the Q3 2008, the site posted its highest quarterly results to date:
- Q3 2008 site traffic increased 201% over the same period in 2007
- Q3 2008 dresses listed increased 210% over the same period in 2007
- Q3 2008 dresses sold increased 226% over the same period in 2007
PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com currently features over 1400 new, sample and used designer wedding dresses for sale.

Sheltering Arms One of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare
Richmond, Virginia (September 16, 2008) – Sheltering Arms, Central Virginia’s premier physical rehabilitation provider, announced today that it has been named as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare. Sheltering Arms is the only Virginia physical rehabilitation facility included on the list, and is the only healthcare provider of any kind from the Richmond area to be given the honor.

We are proud of all our employees and their work in helping patients find the power to overcome setbacks that result from injuries and illness”
To determine the workplaces included, Modern Healthcare entered into a partnership with the Best Companies Group, a Harrisburg, Pa.-based firm that conducts regional “best places to work” programs across the country.
“Modern Healthcare’s Best Places to Work in Healthcare identifies and recognizes healthcare organizations that have successfully built workplace excellence and enabled employees to perform at their optimal level,” said Fawn Lopez, Publisher of Modern Healthcare. “By sharing the best practices and innovations in the workplace settings, we hope to enable others to develop progressive human resources strategies critical to creating and sustaining the best healthcare system for patients,”
The full list of 100 organizations honored is available on the Modern Healthcare website, at http://modernhealthcare.com/article/20080908/VIDEO/809059976. Modern Healthcare will reveal the specific ranking of the 100 Best Places to Work in Healthcare in a special supplement to be published October 27, 2008.

Virginia Man To Explain How He Gained “The Power to OverCome”
Paralympic Skier Josh Sundquist to Headline National Rehabilitation Awareness Week
Richmond, Virginia (September 09, 2008) - William and Mary graduate and Bridgewater, Virginia native Josh Sundquist knows a lot about “the power to overcome”. At the age of nine, he lost one of his legs to a form of bone cancer. Now, at the age of 24, he’s been a member of the U.S. Paralympic Ski Team and is an author, motivational speaker, and the founder of an online community for amputees. Sundquist will use his own brand of inspiration through humor to tell his story at the 2008 Celebration of the Power to Overcome fundraising gala, organized by Sheltering Arms.
The gala, to be held on Tuesday, September 23 from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. at the Jefferson Hotel, is just one of the events from Sheltering Arms during this year’s National Rehabilitation Awareness Week, which runs from September 21-27. The week highlights the contributions made by rehabilitation medicine as well as patients working to overcome physical disability. Governor Tim Kaine declared Virginia’s participation by issuing a proclamation earlier this year.
“National Rehabilitation Awareness Week is our opportunity to honor the patients striving to recover from debilitating injury or illness, as well as the therapists who help them achieve their goals,” said Sheltering Arms president and CEO James E. Sok.
On average, Sheltering Arms works with more than 1,350 patients and employs more than 150 therapists at its nine facilities in Metro Richmond.
Sundquist will provide the keynote address during the Celebration of the Power to Overcome gala. His story has been featured on CNN and in the USA Today, Washington Post, Richmond Times-Dispatch, and elsewhere. The evening’s mistress of ceremonies will be former Richmond news anchor Lisa LaFata. On the guest list are numerous community and public leaders who support Virginians with physical disabilities and the services that help them.
The gala is a fundraiser for Club REC, a Sheltering Arms program dedicated to helping victims of stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury maximize quality of life following therapy. The proceeds will subsidize Sheltering Arms’ commitment to deliver services to all those in need, regardless of ability to pay
Other events organized for this year’s National Rehabilitation Awareness Week by Sheltering Arms include multiple seminars for local healthcare professionals about advancements in rehabilitation techniques, and the 16th annual Different Strokes Golf Extravaganza. The event, which is for golfers and non-golfers alike, will include food, music, games for kids, a golf clinic, and a nine-hole golf tournament pairing disabled and non-disabled golfers. There will also be a trick golf exhibition by nationally known golf celebrity Dennis Walters, who became disabled 34 years ago as the result of a golf cart accident. Registration for the golf tournament is $45, and includes green fees, a cart, water, dinner, and awards. All other activities at this event are absolutely free!
For ticket information for the Celebration of the Power to Overcome gala, or for more information about the Different Strokes Golf Extravaganza, please call 764-5275.
