Hello to everyone who has signed up for this newsletter. It's been a while
since I've updated you all.

I'm off in a couple of hours to Anaheim for the Natural Products Expo
West. Tikvah isn't going to have a booth but if you're there and you see a
dark-haired woman in a wheelchair, come up and say "hi."

Many of you will be glad to know that we've reformulated our shampoo recipe
and will be ready to start making it soon after I return next week. I'll
post again when it's ready for sale. The new recipe is very similar to the
old except that it's slightly thicker with a lot more lather. We've
achieved this without any additives.

I would like to welcome Helen Kopriva to Tikvah. She is our office
manager, soapmaker, and all-around everything else. She works Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday from 10-2 Pacific Time. She will be here while I'm
gone so if you want to place an order or ask a question, call her during
these times.

We have plenty of bar soap -- castile, calendula, and lavender oatmeal --
in stock for both retail and wholesale. We have amazing new wrappers
courtesy of Surface Specialties, biodegradable cellophane. As well as
spiffy new gold labels.

Expect big changes in the next few months. I'll keep you all updated via
this list. Or feel free to email or phone.
