Spring 2008 | |
Dear Hannelore,
With the advent of
Spring, we at the Day Spa Association, have been doing some spring
cleaning as well. You will notice a new look and feel to the InTouch
Newsletter. We believe you will find this new format appealing,
informative and relevant.
Your contributions and feedback make the
InTouch Newsletter a success.To make it easier for you to navigate
to sections in which you have particular interest we have grouped
news and articles in 5 main categories:
- Spa Member Interest
- Allied Member Interest
- Start-Up Interest
- What Do You Think?
- Get Involved!
And of course, I will keep you updated on
news from the Association in each issue in the DSA Association
News.
Let me know if you like this new format
better, by leaving us a comment on the DSA Blog or DSA
Forum.
Spafully,
Hannelore Leavy

Only as far as I seek can I

Only as deep as I look can I
see,
Only as much as I dream can I
be. | |
