Dear Friend of Spark NH,

Happy New Year! Thank you for your work and support for Spark NH throughout 2012. I looking forward to an even more exciting and productive 2013 for Spark NH!

Due to the busy holiday season, the Spark Council and many of Spark NH's committees did not meet in December. As a result, and because our staff was on vacation, there are no committee or task force reports in this newsletter. A full-length newsletter detailing Council projects and committee updates will be published in February.

Respectfully submitted,

Laura Milliken,
Director, Spark NH
