Anything that is of value in life only multiplies when it is given.

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What does it mean to give? According to the dictionary it means to bestow, to make a present of, to grant, to deliver, to impart or to yield. Think of all that you give. Perhaps you give money to charity, you give of your time to an organization, you give gently used books to the library or clothes to the nearby shelter. These are wonderful gestures but what can you give on a smaller scale daily that is valuable? How about a smile to a stranger? How about yielding to someone in traffic? How about granting time to just listen to a friend or family member who needs a shoulder to lean on or an ear to bend? How about imparting some advice to a young person who needs help making a decision or who is having a difficult time? How about just being present in the moment with someone? These all are ways to give that may not be grand gestures but are certainly just as important not to mention they are free and easy to do. So this week try giving in simple ways and see how it multiplies the good feeling and the goodness around you.
Until July 13th, remember it is better to give than to receive
Karen

"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: 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.
