lemonade... good news from newport

Happy Holidays!
Welcome to the December issue of lemonade. Especially at this time of year, I'd like you to consider shopping locally AND donating what you can to our local charities. This could be a make or break season for many, so please show support in any way that you are able. You'll find a few suggestions below, in some cases you can even do both at once... like purchasing a designer wreath with the proceeds benefiting Lucy's Hearth, or glitter critter jewelry that supports the Potter League, get it? WIN, WIN!
We're still looking for more participation from YOU to and share your events and good news on our facebook page. I hope to see local businesses and not-for-profits take advantage of this free space!
Wishing you a happy, healthy & peaceful 2012,
