A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz (Karen@lonekeep.com)
-----------------------------------------------------------
"In like a lion and out like a lamb" is what March is like they say! With Spring just around the corner I hope to find new and fun things for you to do... I also have found some new interesting sites to check out like a classifieds page online for you to sell unwanted items and some Irish related sites in honor of St. Patrick's Day! I also would like to thank Theresa Gilvary for sending me some upcoming dates for Ocean Township High School (see below). Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is something you wanted included in the next issue which will be April 21. Until then enjoy and peace...P.S. Check out some neat pictures from the Belmar St. Patrick's Day Parade, compliments of Photos by Anthony of Belmar, at www.lonekeep.com on the community information page....Karen

SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
by Karen E. Jarosz (Karen@lonekeep.com)

The Friends of the Library in Bradley Beach are planning a White Elephant Sale on Saturday April 26 from 10 am to 2 pm at the library on 4th Ave in Bradley Beach. However, they need your help!!! If you have any unwanted items just sitting around that you would like to donate then please drop the items off by April 19th. If you need more information call Norma at 775-3432. This is a wonderful chance for any of you to do a bit of spring cleaning and help out the local library...Also in need of your help is the Church of Ascension who will be sponsoring its First Walkathon on April 13 with all proceeds going directly to the Saint Vincent de Paul Society who's mission is to help the needy in our area. The information needed to register is listed below in the Local Events Section but I think it is worth mentioning twice because it is for a good cause and sounds like a fun afternoon...

From: GardenNatv@AOL.COM
RoseGardens, now's the time to consider what to do with the roses that had just surged and made all those new branches. You might want to consider NOT cutting them, instead they can be pegged to increase their buds so that you'll have more blooms this Spring! First measure their height and whether they can be gently lowered to near ground level and placed in a lateral position,if they can you're cooking! Let me know.

From: MURIEL111@aol.com
Would you be kind enough to tell me how I could locate a realtor from whom I
would be able to rent an apartment or home at the south Jersey shore for
August.
