Quote of the Issue:

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
                                                                                            Christopher Morley (1890 - 1957)

A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It is that time of year when young and maybe even some old folks are getting ready to don the caps and gowns and march down the aisle to Pomp & Circumstance. Yes graduation season is in full swing!! For those graduating the road ahead seems bright and full of promise! Folks look to be successful in securing a job, or a place in their ideal college. Now these are noble pursuits but success isn't just about getting more money, or getting a higher position. While those are worthwhile what really counts, what really make a difference, what really matters is that one is happy in each and every day spending your time, your life doing what is important, what matters to you. I guess I have learned in my 23 years of being in my profession that success did not come from bigger checks, or positions of authority it comes from the fact that I truly love what I do, am happy knowing I make and difference each day in others' lives and know that I am doing exactly what I was meant to do.
Until June 14th, remember success isn't everything but being happy is,
Karen

PS ~ Remember we now are on our summer schedule!! That means the Bulletin is published EVERY Monday in June, July and August!! So enjoy and keep informed about what's going on!

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.

Potter Pest Control

More than just eating up all your food and being a general nuisance, carpenter ants can cause extensive damage to your home's infrastructure, and for every one you do see, there could be hundreds more hiding in the walls.

Carpenter ants damage wood and insulation by excavating tunnels, and they are capable of causing more harm to your home than even termites. Fortunately, a carpenter ant problem is entirely controllable under professional care.
