A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz (Karen@lonekeep.com)
-----------------------------------------------------------
I can't believe that it is May already and that next weekend will be Memorial Day Weekend! Where does the time go? I have been to the boardwalk and it looks like the beach is being spruced up and the waves are calling... Before you know it the smell of suntan lotion will be in the air! Please let me know of any special summertime events you are planning so I can post them here and let others know about them. I hope that this newsletter will help you choose some fun outdoor activities to partake in and please let me know if do attend any, what the event was like. Thanks for the positive feedback and for some of the local happenings information, too. Until June, the 16th that is, take care and enjoy... Karen

SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

Your help and input is valuable to us. Therefore we are asking for your opinion on local sites you have visited that are noteworthy. We are putting together an award to recognize sites in the Jersey Shore Area that excel in guiding users on the Information Highway. This award is known as The Lighthouse Award. The three categories are as follows: Best Personal Site, Best Commercial/Business Site and Best Community Information Site. Please visit the Jersey Shore Community Information Bulletin Webpage at http://www.lonekeep.com/jscib. Thanks so much for your input!!!

The Bradley Beach Recycling Center on Evergreen Ave now has an AMVETS Clothing Collection box for residents to drop off all clothing,footwear, bed linens, curtains, towels and bedspreads. Drop off can be done Mon. to Fri. between 7am and 3:30pm. So if you are Spring cleaning here's a place to donate that unwanted clothing rather than just throw it away...

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.

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.
