A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So how are your New Year's goals coming along? Seems like a distant memory doesn't it? Well, I have to admit I did achieve some of mine and am still working on some. I have to admit with the weather starting to get nicer some goals are easier than others. I think it does have something to do with being in agreement with nature. With sunny warm days it is more inviting to be outside and bike ride, find a spot to read, walk the boardwalk and be away from mindless television. I also find I am more inclined to eat fresh fruit and vegetables too. Yet I also find that the nature within me seems to change to with sunny days. Now I don't believe in the seasonal affect disorder but I find on those beautiful spring or summer days I feel lighter at heart and maybe a bit more optimistic. Nature in all its aliveness or vibrancy seems to bring out the best in people myself included.Now if I could just bottle that wonderful feeling up for those cold winter days...
Until June 15th, take time to be outdoors and maybe check in on those New Year's goals...
Karen

PS - Starting June 1st we will be resuming our summer publishing schedule. That means receiving the Bulletin EVERY Monday for June, July and August packed with Local events to enjoy at the Shore!!

From :davidzimel@extantsmallbusiness.com
Extant Small Business, a technology consulting firm, has donated 10 refurbished personal computers to the Association of Retarded Citizens of Monmouth County for use by their clients. Originally slated for disposal because they were deemed obsolete, these PCs were rescued by Extant for use in a non-business environment. Some of the businesses that donated to this project were The Senior Citizens Activities Network of Monmouth County, Joan of Arc Electrical Contractors of Lincroft , Lone Keep Internet, Inc. of Bradley Beach and Johnny's Garage of Long Branch.

The Barbaric Bean Celebrates 1-Year Anniversary!
An historic event recently occurred in Ocean Grove, NJ: Barbaric Bean Coffee Roasters celebrated its one-year anniversary. We stormed the gates of this boomin' beach town on February 23, 2008. Since that time we have met thousands of wonderful customers, trained over 25 staff members, weathered the summer wave of tourists and guests to Ocean Grove.

From: mikespet@comcast.net
MIKE'S PET CENTER in Neptune has a new pet!
Mike has adopted a 6 year old female Kinkajou named Kaytie.
What is a Kinkajou? It is a mammal that is native to South Americas tropical  forest and is in the same family as the raccoon, but Kaytie originally came from a private breeder in Kansas. Some interesting facts are they have a prehensile tail and they can turn their feet backwards to run either way. She likes a lot of tropical fruits and they also like honey and that is how they got a nickname "Honey Bear" but one of her favorite treats is marshmallows. Kinkajous are nocturnal and are very sweat but shy animals. They live to be about 25years old.
