Greetings!
 I love summer! I have no idea why people leave NH to go on vacation. Talk about vacationing in your own backyard -- we've been playing hard within a half hour radius of our home. Last week we took in a couple movies, played mini golf, rode the Hobo Railroad, visited Chutters -- longest candy counter in the world (need  I say more), hiked, swam....
This weekend I think we are planning on visiting our bear friends at Clark's Trading Post and exploring Lost River Gorge. Catch us if you can!

 New Event Volunteer Opportunity
 
We have added two new outlet shopping perks!!
The Tanger Outlet Center and the Merrimack Premium Outlets have both offered active GSAs a coupon book filled with savings. You can request one by showing your current GSA Membership Card at the respective Shopper Services offices each time you visit. Visit the GSA Perks page for more details.
Remember while Perks are great rewards for your service, they are also designed to be marketing tools for them. We encourage you to spread the word about your experience there via referrals, word-of-mouth, and through writing a couple paragraphs for us to publish in our blogs.

GSA (not so) Two Minute Chat
After a long week of not so perfect weather, I decided to take a little road trip and head down the seacoast to explore some of the NH beaches.I talked to some of the experts on this, including Dave from Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Co., to find out whats going on during the summer months down on the sand in New Hampshire. In the end I had a great trip, so check out this video to see where I went.

Castle in the Clouds a Truly Majestic Summer Retreat
Submitted by Richard L. Hatin, Granite State Ambassador, League of NH Craftsmen, Class of 2012
On June 21, 2012, on what may well be the hottest day of 2012, twenty four GSA's stood up well under the heat and humidity while touring one of NH Lake's Region attractions. This tour  brought our group of Ambassadors to the Castle in the Clouds which is located in Moultonboro, NH.
The Castle in the Clouds is managed by the Castle Preservation Society, which is an independent non-profit tasked with the preservation and restoration of the historic building estate.
