Quote of the Issue:

It is surprising what a man can do when he has to,
and how little most men will do when they don't have to.

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th and took time to remember why we celebrate. So far the weather this summer has been cooperating. We have enjoyed some truly lovely days. At this time of the year it is great to get out and enjoy a local event and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Porch sitting, going for a walk or bike ride along the beach or having a picnic at a local park. Those all are afforded us right here on the Shore. Don't forget to take time to visit your local library and bring along a good read for the porch or picnic.
As always, let me know of any upcoming events and let me know if having the Bulletin every week in the summer has been helpful. Thanks!
Until next Monday, take some time to just sit and be quiet
Karen
