Quote of the Issue:
O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, I crown thee king of intimate
delights, Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness, And all the comforts that the lowly
roof Of undisturb'd Retirement, and the hours Of long uninterrupted evening.
William Cowper

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Winter! Yes, today is the official start of Winter and what a blast we got here this
weekend! While winter is not my favorite season it does have its beauty and its
advantages. There are the weekends to enjoy doing indoor activities such as board games,
reading a good book while sipping some hot cocoa or munching on popcorn while enjoying a
good movie. You can spend some of the winter days and nights ahead indulging in an old or
maybe a new hobby such as knitting, learning a language or painting. Perhaps going
outdoors and braving the cold fresh air is your thing. So if you are not a fan of winter
like I am. just try looking at it from a different perspective. It is a great time to do
all those things you don't get to do when the weather is nice and you want to be outdoors.
Remember Nature needs to rest too in order to give us the beauty of spring.
Until January 4th, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

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.
