Quote of the Issue:
If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then
autumn rounds out to be reflection. It's a time of year when the leaves are down and the
harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on
another year and it's time to reflect on what's come before.
Mitchell Burgess, Northern Exposure,

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So Autumn is truly upon us. The days are a bit cooler and the nights are colder. There is
dew and frost in the morning air. The colors of the leaves are varied and they have
fallen. The days are growing shorter. For some it can be a sad time as we begin to
hibernate. Yet as the Quote of the Issue shares it can be a time to reflect. I think
especially with Thanksgiving coming up it is a great time to reflect - reflect on what is
important to us. Perhaps you are grateful for family and friends who stick by you. Maybe
you are grateful for the freedom we have due to the many sacrifices of those who serve our
country. Your health might be something you are grateful for. I know that Thanksgiving may
not be big to some people but it has always been my favorite holiday. I think because
there is no real stress or pressure but rather it is a day to just reflect on what is
important to us and to give thanks for the many blessings bestowed on us.
Until December 7th, take time to reflect and truly give thanks for all blessings, great
and small...

Unless you've suffered the heartache personally, it's hard to imagine the array of
emotions you experience as you hold a sick puppy in your arms at 3:00 am. There are many
sick puppies being sold in Monmouth and Ocean counties from both breeders and puppy
stores. Should you or someone you know purchase one of these bundles of love and it turns
out to be sick, you need to go to a new website dedicated solely to the reporting of sick
puppies in Monmouth and Ocean counties. The website is www.ReportSickPuppies.com
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.
