A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Autumn at its best! There is nothing quite like the changing trees, pumpkin picking on  a cool fall day or a fire in the fireplace on a crisp autumn evening! There is so much to do and  so little time. There are haunted hayrides, shows, seminars and of course shopping! Be sure to  take some time out to enjoy this great weather and relax. Please feel free to email me and let me  know if you particularly enjoyed something and do not forget to check out our sponsors.
Until November 3rd, enjoy the season and Happy Halloween!
Karen

Hi all - 90.5 The NIGHT will be holding its Fall Membership drive. We are in need of volunteers to answer phones all next week. If you can spare some time next week to answer phones you can send an e-mail to volunteer@wbjb.org

I volunteer for the Monmouth County SPCA. A group of us volunteers have created a new 2004 "New Beginnings" calendar, featuring some of our happiest adoptions. I was wondering if you would include the following blurb advertising this fundraiser. We were able to get local businesses to sponsor the production of the calendar, so every penny made goes directly to the animals. We are very excited! If you want, you can read more at www.monmouthcountyspca.org/calendar.htm
