The one thing we can never get enough of is love.

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz (Karen@lonekeep.com)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to our sponsor, Joeypasta.com! YAHOOO! You'll notice this
is our 100th Issue! Imagine that?!! We started the Bulletin in
August of 1996 and we published only one a month. As word spread we
received requests to publish more often and so in August 1997 we went
to two issues a month. Since then we have changed our look, added some
things like the Triple Play, Sponsors and Quote of the Issue and have gained
many more readers! SO thank you all who were there from the start and
to thosse just joining us, stick around and enjoy!
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm sure you have been seeing the candy, flowers and balloons in
preparation for
the special day... Yet, what about just spending time with that someone
special? A quiet dinner together at home, a walk on the boardwalk or
a movie and dessert? I know myself that some of the best gifts I've
received were just a day together with my loved ones giving the gift
of each other and laughter shared. That is worth more to me than
jewels, flowers or candy. So if you are looking to spend time with
someone doing something fun or different check out the local happenings
listed below and remember Valentine's Day is the 14th but you can make
it everyday by doing simple things for your loved ones like a kind word.
helping out with chores or quiet time spent together... Enjoy!
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.
Don't forget you can sponsor an issue too! Just go to www.lonekeep.com/jscib and click on sponsor.
Until February 19th, smile and tell that someone special just how you feel!

***Just wanted to express my thanks to those of you who have responded
to this note! Jacob is doing well and the response from the readers
was truly wonderful and it restored my faith in the belief that there
are good people out there who are always willing to help another fellow
human being. Thank you doesn't seem enough but know that you have made
a difference...***
This was sent to me by a friend and I needless to say was very upset
and thought that maybe some good hearted people out there would be able
help out. Jacob Phillips is a young boy who is a sweet, bright boy
and my prayers are with him and his family!!
"Jacob has advanced cancer and is in Robert Wood Johnson Hospital.
Fortunately, he has an excellent oncologist and a fair chance
of beating this thing through a year of aggressive treatment.
He's in good spirits. The first round of chemo went very well.
We are looking for Blood Type O donors who might be willing to go
to New Brunswick a few times to donate blood or platelets for
Jacob when he might need them."
Thanks!!
