2017 at MARIA LUISA

 Welcome to our first newsletter of the year!

With this mailing, we are introducing our revamped newsletter, which will now be a quarterly update.
We hope you'll look forward to reading each of these seasonal editions, where we'll continue to update you on new fashions, accessories, furniture, home goods and gift ideas that seem to arrive all the time in both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa
(and always available 24-7 online).

We'll also let you know about special in-store events, online promotions and select community events (think street fairs - the next one's May 21- and the like) that you'll want to keep on your radar.
As always, we continue to keep in more frequent touch through social media, with steady postings to our Instagram and Facebook accounts, as well as our blog and community calendar.
These newsletters will offer a bit more of an overview, as you'll see from what's to follow.

Read on - and let us know what you think.
We hope 2017's been going well for you- and that you will enjoy all the spring holidays including this week's observance of Passover and Easter.
And don't forget... we're celebrating our 30th anniversary this year, so stay tuned for all kinds of good things in coming months.
As always, there's a reward waiting for you at the end of this newsletter - our coupon!!

As you know, we love our planet - and Earth Day is the perfect time for all of us to show that love.
We hope you're participating in environmentally friendly events - perhaps volunteering with Keep Rockland Beautiful or Nyack's own Earth Day celebration April 22?
Do stop by our shops Earth Day weekend, when we'll be giving our signature reusable market bag out for FREE  with your total purchase of $75.00 or more April 22 or April 23.

MOTHER'S DAY IS MAY 14... are you ready?
To help out with Mother's Day shopping - and remember, you can shop for anyone who's "been like a mother" to you - a sister, a dear friend, a mother-in-law, a special teacher or mentor, etc. - we will be conducting a Mother's Day Shopping WISH LIST registry.

Here's how it works:
From May 1-10, create your own registry list - a "wish list" if you will - and then you or anyone who shops from your list by May 12 will receive a 20% discount.
And for the younger set, we've got a special offer - shoppers ages 12 and under who shop for mom between May 6 and May 12 - and BEFORE NOON May 13 - will receive a special Junior-Shopper 30% discount on cash purchases for mom.
And of course, we're here to offer suggestions any time.

AND DON'T FORGET DAD...

Father's Day is coming soon, too, so remember to consider us a prime source for those

AND PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

ML by MARIA LUISA SCHOLARSHIP FUND
"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." - John Dewey

The ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund invites you to become a part of the effort.
As you may know, this spring we will present our third award to a graduating Rockland Coun
ty high school female student. This need-based award recognizes a young woman who has proven a true commitment to civic and community issues and is active in causes related to social justice or promoting Fair Trade and eco-minded principles. We're looking to spread the word, garner more donations, increase the number of applicants and so much more. If it sounds like something you'd like to be involved in, please contact Maria Luisa Whittingham.
And thanks for considering - it's so important to encourage the next generation of female leaders.

If you'd like to make a donation, click on the link below and scroll down to "ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund".  Be sure to include "ML by Maria Luisa Scholarship Fund" on the "Add special instructions to the seller" line.
