Quote of the Issue:
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment
of it. No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination;
never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Lord Chesterfield (1694 - 1773)

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Seems the holiday season is upon us again! This time of year always seem to make folks
crazy and stressed. Yet it is suppose to be a time of peace on earth and good will toward
man.... There always seems to be one more gift to buy, one more cookie to bake and one
more decoration to be hung. This craziness seems to take all the real meaning and true
spirit of the holiday out of it. My wish for all of you this holiday season is that you
will take the time to slow down and truly enjoy the season. Make plans to do something
special and not stressful with a loved one. Don't worry if you haven't fully decorated or
baked all those cookies. Perhaps the best gift you can give this year is the gift of your
time and yourself. Be sure to take time to truly enjoy the season before it is gone.
Until December 21st, slow down and truly enjoy each moment of the season,
Karen

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.
