Spring.. Spring...Spring.....

Greetings Bay Soapers!

It is Spring and we’re marveling at the emergence of warm weather, a return to shorts and sandals and the desire to look good, feel good, and of course, smell great! Bay Soap of Maryland is definitely on the move this year. We have a lot going on.

First let us tell you about a cause that is near and dear to our soapy little hearts. The Treatment and Learning Center in Rockville is a non-profit organization based in Rockville, Md., that provides academic testing, tutoring and other services to children and adults. They do great work. We found that they genuinely care for their clients and work hard to help them overcome learning challenges. We applaud their work. But more than that, we decided to show the TLC staff how much we appreciate them.

Between May 1 and Aug. 31, 2011, we will be donating 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of our new Body Butters, to TLC. You can purchase online at www.baysoapmd.com, or at any of our market events after May 10. It’s our way of giving back to the community and to an organization that is helping build the foundation of Montgomery County, and the State of Maryland. Bravo!

Next, our 2011 Spring Market Schedule is all done! Go to our Facebook page and click on “Notes” to see where we will be this year!

We’re returning to the Fenton Street Market in Silver Spring this year at its new location at Veterans’ Plaza. And we’re really excited to participate in the Washington National Cathedral Flower Mart on May 6 and 7, a tradition in the nation’s capitol. Perhaps First Lady Michele Obama will stop by and say hello! We can only hope!

We’re anxious to show off our new products – our expanded line of Bath Salts, our Herbal Hand and Foot Salve, and as mentioned before, our Body Butter. We are totally psyched! All-natural, and oh so yummy smelling!

We will be May 6 and 7, posting the link to our Product of the Day on our Facebook page. Visit us at our booth and ask for it (you have to tell us what it is!) and you get one free! So be sure to "like" us on Facebook and get your free product at the Flower Mart!
