April 2009                                                                 e-Newsletter

Well, spring is finally here after a long, cold winter.  At Stuyvesant Plaza we are ready to welcome warmer weather with open arms and to enjoy outdoor seating on benches and at our cafes.  It's time to think about storing your valuable furs at Beck Furs and to think about mouthwatering chocolate bunnies at Lindt ChocolateLindt has bunnies from miniature to giant and are fun for all ages.
 
April is National Poetry Month, so take a trip over to The Book House and The Little Book House for a book of poetry for yourself or to share with someone.  April is also National Lawn and Garden Month  - Emil J. Nagengast Florist has decorative items that will enhance any garden. 
 
Stuyvesant Plaza has places to buy your Easter outfit, or outfits for your children in the freshest spring fashions.  For some ideas, visit Circles, White House Black Market, Ann Taylor Loft, Chicos, Casual Set, Talbots, Catherine's, Silver Parrot, Coldwater Creek, Rugged Bear, Jr Shoe Port, to name just a few.
 
Catering is always available from simple to elaborate for Easter and Passover, at EATS and at Bountiful Bread.  Look at our individual restaurants' websites for special Easter dinner menus, or  pick up a decadent dessert for your dinner at home, from Cold Stone Creamery or Peaches Cafe.
 
Don't forget Administrative Professionals day on April 22; a small gift of candy or flowers, or a lunch out for your right arm person would be a good incentive to show appreciation for work well done.

The Lindt Gold Bunny
 
Lindt BunnyOur Story Begins...
 
...One bright spring morning in March, when the ground was covered in a blanket of crisp white snow, one of the LINDT Master Chocolatiers saw a little bunny in his garden. The Master Chocolatier's young son was thoroughly mesmerized when he saw the little bunny but began to cry as soon as it disappeared in the bushes. Deeply touched by how upset his son was, the father suddenly had a great idea: "I should make a bunny like that out of chocolate..." He made the bunny from the finest LINDT milk chocolate and wrapped it in golden foil. And so, the very first LINDT GOLD BUNNY was born into this world.
 
Decades have passed since that morning, but the Lindt Gold Bunny is still an icon of spring. People all over the world know spring is not far away when the Gold Bunny shows his ears again.

What is the difference between the SAT, ACT and PSAT?
 
The SAT & ACT are used for admission to colleges. The SAT is 4.5 hours long and covers math, writing and critical reading. There is also a required essay. All 3 sections are scored 200-800. A perfect score is now a 2400 and not the infamous 1600! 
 
The ACT is 3.5 hours long and covers math, english, science, reading and an option essay. The ACT has one score and it ranges from 1-36.
 
The PSAT is only taken in the month of October, junior year. This test is only used to see if a student is eligible for a national merit scholarship. It's 2.5 hours long. Each section is scored 20-80.
