March arrived right on Time!
I
don't know about you but I had such a good time with the snow last month!
(Let's NOT talk about the rain that followed, however… )After shoveling
enough to get from the house to the street, I got out my cross-country
skis and skied around the neighborhood - in plenty of time before the
salt truck arrived to ruin my "course." See the photo of me
bundled up and ready for a wintry outing!
The Winter Festival was a great hit this year - as usual. Over $18,000 was raised and will be awarded to local non-profits. Many thanks to all of you who attended and made the weekend a great success!
Before I forget, I
am letting you know NOW that next month I will be asking you to help me
by filling out a simple survey form. I'm looking for ways to make NewHopePennsylvania.com
even more interesting and valuable to you, the visitors and readers!

FREE
MONTHLY DRAWING!
This month's Free Monthly Drawing is a $50 Gift Certificate to
the new store, Not
Too Shabby. I stopped in the store the other day and they
have a wonderful assortment of art and crafts by local artisans.
Last month's winners of two tickets to the Tempest at McCarter
Theater were: Sharon Harrison and Liam Quirk. Sharon wrote:
"The Tempest was fabulous! It is so great to once again confirm that
we have top theatrical performances so close to home; no need to travel
to NYC or Philly… Thank you for the gift of the tickets and please
express my thanks to those at McCarter Theater."
Congratulations Sharon
and Liam!

THOUGHT
FOR THE MONTH
When life pushes your buttons (as it often does), remember that we are
never given more than we can handle.
