Pampering Objectives:
Jim Potoski and Rajeunir General Manager Nathan Irvin spearheaded the
“Pampering the Troops” concept four years ago when Irvin first welcomed
these women and men into his Briarcliff Village spa. Word spread quickly as
neighboring businesses joined in to donate their expert services. Hosting the
event a few days before July 4th symbolizes Stars and Stripes pride and way
of saying THANK YOU to the troops and military families for their service to
our country.
Pampering Schedule:
The Army Wives will arrive as a group at Briarcliff Village around 9:30 a.m.
After greetings, briefings, photos and a light breakfast at Trezo Mare, the women
will be divided into groups – each group starting out at a designated pampering
station. After 40-50 minutes, the groups will rotate to a different location until the
pampering is completed and the catwalk preening begins.
Pampering Treatments: (for mind, body and spirit)
Chemical peels, microdermabrasions, fillers, Latisse eyelash treatments, and
wraps (Rajeunir Medical Spa), European Bath Ritual, manicures or pedicures
(The Spa Tuscano), hair styling + cuts (Eclektica Hair Salon), wedding
rings/bands cleaning (Tivol) and chair massages (Kansas City Chiropractic).
Pampering Media:
The Fashion Show will be visually spectacular and inspiring! The Army Wives
will be available to the media all day to tell their family stories. An independent
film crew will be on hand to document everything. Local media – come join us
for the Fashion Show and meet the Wives and troops!
Pampering Extras:
• Children from local schools/churches are being asked to create
“Patriotic 4th of July cards” for the soldiers. How would a young boy or girl
thank these brave women and men for their service to our country?
These Kiddie Kards will be displayed outside Rajeunir for everyone to read.
• In-kind donations from local companies will be delivered (as will the Kiddie
Kards) to the military families at Fort Leavenworth

3. *Camp Cropper Facts:
Camp Cropper is a holding facility for security detainees operated by the
United States Army near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq. The facility was
initially operated as a high-value detention site (HVD), but has since been
expanded increasing its capacity from 163 to 2,000 detainees. Former Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein was held there prior to his execution.
Camp Cropper was established by the Headquarters and Headquarters Company
(HHC) of the 115th Military Police Battalion in April 2003. It is named for Staff Sgt.
Kenneth Cropper, a member of the Maryland National Guard who died in March
2002 while supporting security operations at the Pentagon. Almost immediately
after being established, it was designated as the site for the Corps Holding Area
(CHA). Initially, the facility was meant to serve as "central booking" for the
US forces operating in Baghdad and central Iraq, though detainees from
northern Iraq were brought there as well. The original concept called for a
small temporary camp that could hold up to 300 detainees for no more than
72 hours. After being processed at Camp Cropper, detainees were
supposed to be shipped to other detention facilities in Baghdad and throughout
Iraq. However, in practice, this proved unworkable since most other prisons in
Baghdad were badly damaged by looting after the fall of the Baath regime.
