Quote of the Issue:

Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself.
                                         Jean Anouilh

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, love is in the air. Valentine's Day is around the corner and the price of roses will go up and cards will be flying off the shelves of card stores. Yet, why should we tell those we love just this one day of the year? I know that there are people who are very dear to me and I can't imagine just waiting until Valentine's Day to let them know. I guess as I have gotten older I realize that telling those we love often in little ways is so important. I know that I end all my phone calls with my family by saying I love you. It seems so simple but it means so much. Signs of love don't have to be grand gestures or expensive gifts. It can be a smile in the morning, holding hands or just a simple, heartfelt compliment. After all, love makes the world go round, doesn't it?
Until February 15th, let love reign!
Karen

From: skryla@comcast.net
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.
