A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It's official! Happy Summer! So what are your plans for the summer? Do you have a trip planned? Will you be hitting up the beach (if it stops raining?) Summer is such a wonderful time to be outdoors. There's biking, walking, porch sitting and of course cooking all to be done outdoors. There is the quiet of the beach at sunrise, the soft sound of the waves on the beach in the heat of the day and of course the moon to gaze at over the water at night. No wonder the living is easy in the summertime as the old song goes. Be sure to make some time each week to enjoy this season and renew yourself by heading outdoors and taking in the beauty of the surroundings.  
Until June 29th, get outdoors and enjoy
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!!

"Bada Bing, Bada Bang!"
July 17,  August 14  and September 18
It's a Sopranos parody with tons of audience participation. The "Smiths" are being placed in witness protection and the heads of the various "families" (audience members) are vying for Tony's position as head of the NJ Mob. They're put to the test in various contests: Pizza Tossing. Garroting Technique, etc. It's hilarious. Wait till you see Carmela!

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.
