1. Welcome to issue #1 of our newsletter.

This has been a very busy summer for me and everyone who has helped to launch MurphyGold.com.

Initially, Murphy Gold News will be published monthly, and we have plans to increase the frequency to twice monthly in November, 2009. We're hoping to publish our newsletter weekly, starting in January, 2010.

Murphy Gold Businesses are all locally-owned by our friends and neighbors who live in Murphy, NC. We hope you will support them with your business and keep more of our money in our community. In return, each of them has made a special offer that is available to you for all of 2009.

You are welcome to print the coupons and take them to the businesses or just mention "Murphy Gold" or show something with our logo or website address on it to take advantage of the special offers.

One of the things that sets Murphy Gold apart from all other papers and websites that promote businesses in Murphy, NC is that we strive to help you get to know the real people who own and operate these businesses. Another thing is that each of these business owners is happy to recommend other local business owners who they enjoy working with and who provide quality service and products to their customers.
