February 4, 2008 Newsletter

Greetings from NHQE:

Just a quick note to say hi and tell you about a few new things we’ve gotten in.

First though, do you know that February is Heart Health Awareness month? Do you know that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in women in America today? We all know we should watch our saturated fat intake and exercise more, but how many of us have actually “resolved” to do that? Dictionary.com tells us that resolve is a verb and means to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something). Let’s all “resolve” to be healthier in 2008. In an effort to assist with that resolution you will receive a free red dress pin, which is the symbol for heart health awareness, when you make a $25.00 purchase at NH Quilters’ Emporium during the month of February. Supplies are limited, so first come, first served.

A few new things: New things are beginning to trickle into the store. Some of them are:
