A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy November! So much going on this month. We practice our right to elect individuals to office on Election Day. We honor those who bravely served our country and all that it stands for on Veteran's Day. We give thanks for all that we have with family and friends on Thanksgiving Day. Seems to me that November is a very special month. So be sure to vote, reflect and give thanks this month and most of all spend some time with those you love maybe doing something fun together such as a Local Happening.

Until November 19th, God Bless America and to our Veterans, Thank You!
Karen
