Re-gifters welcome. The Book Shack offers cash and/or store credit with Sell Your Book consignment program.

January 15, 2013 //  by admin

KINGSTON, HANOVER and TAUNTON, MA…

In December, we shop for the holidays. In January, many consumers face the daunting tasks of paying the bills for that holiday shopping. This year, one of the area’s more popular destinations for gifts, The Book Shack at Independence Mall in Kingston, has launched a Sell Your Book program that can help patrons make some money for those bills and/or earn store credit for purchases during the year.

The Sell Your Book program enables customers to bring in their select used books for resale. The Book Shack will examine the quality and condition and scan the barcode to determine its value and whether or not it is eligible for the program. For books that are accepted, The Book Shack will offer 30 percent in cash or 50 percent in store credit once those titles are sold.

“You can try to sell your used books online on sites like Amazon or eBay but then the burden of shipping and handling is on you,” said Erik Christensen, owner of The Book Shack, which also has locations at the Hanover Mall in Hanover, Mass. and The Silver City Galleria in Taunton, Mass. “With our program, you simply bring your books in, we create a profile for you and then you’re alerted when your book sells.”

The Sell Your Book program will operate Monday – Saturday, from 11am to 4pm, at The Book Shack location at 101 Independence Mall Way in Kingston. Books eligible for the Sell Your Book program will be sold at The Book Shack’s three locations and its online portal at http://www.thebookshack.net and other open markets.

Some of the more desirable books include hard covers and paperbacks in the following genres:

  • Biographies
  • Self-help
  • Home Repair
  • History
  • Recent fiction
  • New York Times best sellers
  • Graphic novels

Besides traditional used books, customers can also donate used textbooks for resale as long as the textbooks are up-to-date and currently in use. If you’re donating a textbook, you must present a current student ID.

While many customers may want the cash or store credit, the Sell Your Book program also gives participants the opportunity to pay it forward and to donate sales from the purchase of their to a non-profit or charity. Some of the non-profits the Sell Your Book program will donate funds to include:

  • K-12 Public Schools
  • Relay for Life (American Cancer Society)
  • CP Society
  • Leukemia Society
  • Boys and Girls Club

“Sure, the Sell Your Book program is a way to earn some extra cash, but it really does go way beyond that. It’s really about giving,” continued Christensen. “Instead of these books sitting idly on your shelves, you can pay it forward so that somebody else will get some enjoyment out of them. Or, better yet, you can help a local non-profit by donating the sale of your book. Either way, the Sell Your Book program is a win for everybody.”

For complete information about the Sell Your Book program, visit http://www.thebookshack.net or call 781-585-2665.

A Saturday morning social. Behavioral Concepts, Inc., a child autism services company, adds weekend social skills groups to its offerings.

January 15, 2013 //  by admin

WORCESTER, MA…

Having a child with autism can present many challenges. One of them is finding programs that can teach your child developmental and social skills. The second is finding programs that your health insurance covers. Behavioral Concepts, Inc. (BCI), a company of behavioral clinicians specializing in the care of children with autism in Central Massachusetts, recently launched a Saturday morning social skills program that’s covered by all the insurance carriers who work with the Worcester-based firm.

“We’re delighted to have a program like our Saturday morning social skills program that provides the children with the training needed, but in an environment where they can interact with peers and develop those skills,” said Dr. Jeffrey Robinson, BCI founder and director. “That our insurance carriers see the value in the program and want to make it available to their customers is just icing on the cake.”

BCI accepts Harvard-Pilgrim, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Behavioral Health, Tufts, Aetna, Fallon and coverage from other major health care providers for the social skills program.

The social skills program is a three-hour session on Saturday mornings, from 9:30 to 12:30. In addition to instruction from BCI clinicians, the sessions include interaction with other children who serve as role models for BCI students involved in the social skills program.

“The role model students provide a critical element to the social skills program. They give our students a chance to see appropriate behaviors—waiting your turn, raising your hand—in an activity-based setting,” said Robinson. “The other critical part is that we have a very high instructor to student ratio, typically three students per instructor. That gives instructors the chance to utilize the peer models for appropriate skills and reinforce the good behaviors.”

There is no age limit for the social skills program. BCI accepts all major insurance companies or private pay at a rate of $35-$50 per hour depending on the student/staff ratio your child needs. Parents or guardians interested in this program for their students can call (508) 363-0200. For complete information on BCI, visit http://bciaba.org.

These services are based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and are tailored to the unique needs of the individuals BCI works with.

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac
Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac General Sales Manager Joe Wilkerson, seated, leads the pizza toast with the members of Northern Lights, an a cappella singing group from Plymouth North High School. Northern Lights was recognized as the Tracy Driven Students of the Month. The group is led by Dave Grossman, music teacher at Plymouth North.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

For several years, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac conducted a “Driven Student” program recognizing the achievements of local high school students inside and outside the classroom. The Plymouth dealership recently jumpstarted the program, honoring the 20 Plymouth North High School (PNHS) students that make up the a cappella singing group Northern Lights.

Directed by David Grossman, a music teacher in his first full year at Plymouth North, Northern Lights formed at the beginning of the school year and has already performed at the PNHS Pep Rally, Festival of Trees, and PNHS Winter Concert.

“For a group that just started together in September, the kids have come a long way in a very short amount of time,” said Grossman. “That comes from a combination of talent, hard work and being open to teaching. The students in Northern Lights are all that and more and we’re honored that Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac chose us as the opening act for the Driven Student program this year.”

For being chosen as the Driven Students of the Month, the group received a pizza party courtesy of Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. In addition to pizza and refreshments, each student also received a Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac drink koozie.

Yet it was the attendees who received the real treat as the group performed for Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac Sales Manager Joe Wilkerson.

“After that performance, I feel like we should have brought some ice cream, too. They were that good,” said Wilkerson. “Seriously, we’re delighted to bring back the Driven Student program and I can’t think of a better way to kick off than program than this group of students.”

Members of Northern Lights include: Shaelyn Helminiak, Rebecca Levy, Sarah Serrilla, Jaclyn Mennonna, Mackenzie Levangie, Merin English, Maria D’ambrosio, Veronica Cavanaugh, Jordan Brocklesby, Julia McBride, Conor Hurley, Kyle Blagg, Christian Hatfield, Eli Hovey, Shawn Westcott, Danny Osborne and Kevin Johnson.

For more information on Northern Lights and upcoming performances, you can visit their Facebook page at Facebook.com/northernlightsacappella,

Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac’s Driven Student program recognizes Plymouth high school students for their performance and achievements in and out of the classroom. Awarded on a monthly basis, recipients are selected by faculty and advisors at the student’s given school.

Since its beginnings in 1992, Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac has emphasized first-rate customer service and straightforward, bottom-line pricing with fair trade-ins every time–without the games or gimmicks you find at other dealerships.

King Collision earns Factory Certified designation

December 20, 2012 //  by admin

PEMBROKE AND PLYMOUTH, MA…

King Collision Centers, a family-owned and operated collision repair center, recently earned Factory Certified Collision Repair Facility designations from Acura, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, GMC, Honda, Infiniti, Jeep, Nissan, Volkswagen and Volvo. King Collision Centers is the only collision repair center in the greater Plymouth area to hold designations from all these auto manufacturers.

“Most collision centers will have one or two members of their staff, usually technicians, complete this kind of training and then promote themselves as certified by the car manufacturer,” said Bruce King, owner of King Collision Centers. “At our centers, every technician and all our administrative staff have successfully completed the rigorous factory-approved training from these vehicle manufacturers. That means every one you come in contact at King Collision has been approved by your automobile’s manufacturer.”

Training is one part of the certification process. The facility itself must meet certain standards as it pertains to specialized equipment. Both King Collision Centers in Plymouth and Pembroke met all the specialized equipment requirements needed to receive the Factory Certified Collision Repair Facility designation from the aforementioned vehicle manufacturers.

“Getting into a car accident, whether it was your fault or not, is bad enough. Bringing your damaged automobile to a collision repair facility that doesn’t have the training or the equipment to repair your vehicle safely, correctly and to your complete satisfaction makes a bad situation worse,” said King. “Having all our people attain this designation gives our customers a level of comfort, confidence, and peace of mind knowing that their vehicle will be restored to pre-accident operation, safety and value by factory-trained technicians using their vehicle manufacturers approved equipment and procedures.

Anyone Can Remove Dents – King Collision Centers Removes Doubts

Founded in 1984, King Collision Centers provides superior collision repair and extraordinary customer care to thousands of clients south of Boston. King Collision is dedicated to earning customers for life and their team of professionals’ help clients through the collision repair process every step of the way – from coordinating a rental vehicle; providing accurate damage appraisal; assisting with the insurance claim process and ensuring that the vehicle is returned to pre-accident operation, safety and value.

King Collision Centers was voted “Best Collision Repair” by Market Surveys of America and they have been selected to participate in the Repair Shop Referral Programs of 20 different insurance companies.

King Collision Centers are located in Pembroke and Plymouth, MA. For more information, visit KingCollision.com or contact 508-747-2005.

“What’s great about working at BCI is the clinician to student ratio. It enables you as a clinical supervisor to provide more individual attention and that greatly benefits the student,” said Apostol.

Based in Worcester, Mass and with offices in Mansfield and West Boylston, Mass., BCI provides much needed services to children with autism and their families. BCI instructional programs are delivered using discrete trial training, task analysis, and systematic prompting procedures implemented by ABA therapists who have successfully completed pre-service training, on-site, and quarterly evaluations by their clinical supervisors.
