Greetings!
 I was cold last night!! I WAS COLD LAST NIGHT! This is a really big deal -- I've been hot flashing up a storm and haven't been able to sleep well with the heat (and the heat). I got a solid 8 hours last night and I'm feeling good! Thank goodness for a clear head today. We've been working with the Division of Travel and Tourism and the state's brochure distributors to organize and get the giant trucks full of brochures packed up for the NH Tourism Booth at the Big E. Wednesday and Thursday next week, if you need us, we'll be on our cell phones... hauling boxes and boxes and even more boxes into our hidey-hole closet in Springfield MA. Remind me to grab that bottle of Advil for the trip!
I'm one of the official on-site managers this year so I'll be there a lot. Sign up and come visit me (Nathan & Judi too)!!!

Day in the Life of a Granite State Ambassador
By: Nathan Pasquale, Training & Operations Manager
 Last week Judi told me that she was having a meeting at the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce to discuss the possibility of staffing the Dover Train Station. Checking my schedule I realized that it was on my way to the SpringHill Suites tour so I decided to accompany her before heading into Manchester.

NH Visitor Center News - Rewarding Shifts
Tickled Pink = Valuable Public Service at our State Welcome Centers  By Moe Demers, Comfort Inn Airport Class 2011
My wife Elaine and I had quite a shift at Hooksett North last Friday. From 9:00am to 12:05pm we logged 107 ticks! [Helped 107 guests for you non-GSAs reading this post] My French came in very very handy. One Canadian after another dropped by on their way home, many of whom spoke minimal English. It was a blast.
