A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz ( Karen@lonekeep.com )
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to all of our sponsors! They are all great folks and
be sure to check out their sites! I can't believe it is October!
This time of year is my favorite! I love to see the leaves change
color and offer spectacular scenery on my ride to school each day.
The cool temperatures are just right and there are so many fun things
to do like pumpkin and appple picking, soccer and football games to
go to and so much more. Be sure to check out what is going on in the
area and get out there and enjoy!
Please don't hesitate to let me know of events you are aware of.
Just keep in mind that I do have a deadline because we publish
the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month so I do need information
the Friday before or I can't include it.
Don't forget you can sponsor an issue too! Just go to www.lonekeep.com/jscib and click on sponsor.
Until October 16th, snuggle up and enjoy the cool weather...

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
by Karen E. Jarosz ( Karen@lonekeep.com )
------------------------------------------------------------------
This was sent to me by a friend and I needless to say was very upset
and thought that maybe some good hearted people out there would be able
help out. Jacob Phillips is a young boy who is a sweet, bright boy and my prayers
are with him and his family!!
"Jacob has advanced cancer and is in Robert Wood Johnson Hospital.
Fortunately, he has an excellent oncologist and a fair chance of beating
this thing through a year of aggressive treatment.
He's in good spirits. The first round of chemo went very well.
We are looking for Blood Type O donors who might be willing to go
to New Brunswick a few times to donate blood or platelets for
Jacob when he might need them."
Thanks!!
