A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz ( Karen@lonekeep.com )
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Maria Sanders of The Claims Manager & Clark Cate of The Secret Garden
for sponsoring this issue! Check them out if you are looking to for medical billing assistance
or a great place to eat! Well those April showers have brought us some beautiful May flowers!
Just look around. Now that the weather is getting warmer it is the time
of year to get out there and start enjoying the great outdoors.
I have listed lots of local happenings that are outdoors to enjoy.
Maybe you might want to fly a kite, check out a local park or just
look for some neat springtime birds in our area! It's all here in our
neck of the woods and most of it is FREE! So pick one or two things
to do and go out and enjoy Mother Nature!
Please don't hesitate to let me know of events you are aware of.
Just keep in mind that I do have a deadline because we publish
the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month so I do need information
the Friday before or I can't include it.
****Please note our P.O. Box has changed from 521 to 333. The rest
of the address remains the same!
Don't forget you can sponsor an issue too! Just go to www.lonekeep.com/jscib and click on sponsor.
Until May 15th, take in the springtime!
Karen
