516Ads.com Exclusive/ CALINOFF CUFFS the President!!! ...

Stephanie Calinoff & her momElaine - Calinoff.com  have been serving the Long Island’s residential real estatecommunity for more than 47 years. While being a successful real estate pro, Stephanie's passion is to create one of a kind glass jewelry designs   StephanieCalinoff.com.  Affordably priced, a business  that gives back to the community, love in every piece …  more and more people are saying, 'GET ME A CALINOFF!!!' J  Recently through the Curvy Girl Scoliosis Support Group, Stephanie was consigned to make cuff links for the President & pendants for his daughters.We had our people contact her people , got a hold of the busy Ms. Calinoff and wanted to know ...

How does it feel to have been consigned to make pieces of jewelry for the President & his daughters? 
I am very honored and excited. I wish my dad was here to see this. It’s a little surreal. I never expected this to ever happen. I am very grateful.

Please tell us about the charity that sanctioned you? 
Leah Stoltz was in 6th grade when she was told by her doctor that she was developing a serious lateral curve in her spine, a condition called scoliosis (which affects about 1 in 40 young people, mostly girls). While rarely life-threatening, scoliosis cruelly becomes evident in early adolescence.  Feeling alone and deeply frustrated by her body's betrayal, Leah told her mom she wanted to start her own support group and at age 13 founded Curvy Girls of Long Island. Despite enduring the brace for two and a half years, she required major spine surgery causing her to forgo her favorite activities for one year. Leah has become a spokesperson for the National Scoliosis Foundation and Curvy Girls have been instrumental in the success of fundraising by the local chapter of the Scoliosis Association. Through Curvy Girls, Leah has been able to support and educate other young girls and their parents about living with scoliosis and to instill in them a positive self-image and esteem despite the effects of the condition. It is Leah's hope to help more girls start Curvy Girls groups across the country so that "other girls don't have to feel alone."

Political Rant  ...
Can politicians stop giving themselves (the issues) standing ovations after every paragraph of speech? It's annoying & THEY DON'T DESERVE IT!!! What are they so happy about? Second Thought: Despite a couple of good lines, Obama's SOTU speech sounded like a  60 second networking intro & the Republican response, looked like a SNL skit. Watch for a Joe Biden head bobbing one too Final Thought: Don't count on politicians to change the world. Change it yourself. Your hard work and determination has far more to do with your life than any vote for ANY politician!!!
