Dear JABBERS:


I just read my horoscope. WAIT ... please don't stop reading! It started out with this: "All year, new people have been streaming into your life, and the influence has likely been very stimulating! You may have moved to a new location, changed jobs ... or maybe you decided to get involved with social media. Any of these types of changes would have been why you have expanded your circle, and no doubt those new friendships have widened your worldview." Now perhaps anyone's horoscope could start the same way. But you have to admit, that is pretty poignant!
 
I always reflect on the past year during the month of June because it's the start of summer and my birthday, both of which happen to fall on the same day (June 21st)! And this year has been a particularly exciting one. Over the past 12 months, we have made major improvements to JAB, launched The Newsletter in two new cities and most importantly, we continue to grow our unparalleled community of amazing JABBERS. I am eternally thankful to you for always giving each other the "star treatment" and making JAB so unique. Perhaps I should thank my lucky stars as well!

Happy JABBING!

- Boo

This Dog Truly is a "Trooper"
From Denise Madan
Skills Summer Camp
Sometimes things just stop you in your tracks. Two days ago, during an extreme downpour of rain, I saw a Chocolate Lab, severely injured and alone, on the side of the road. It was heartbreaking when I realized that this sweet animal, paralyzed by his pain, was immobilized on the ground, bleeding. He had been hit by a car and, among other injuries, his front leg seemed to be broken. Thankfully, with the help of several good Samaritans and one incredible police officer, we were able to get him to a veterinary hospital where "Trooper" had surgery. He had his jaw fracture boned, his palate repaired, and his leg was set with pins. Will you help us give Trooper a second chance and donate HERE to his medical fund? You can also donate directly to Miami Veterinary Specialists by calling 305.665.2820.  If you believe you know the dog's name and owner please contact me at 786.334.8200.

 

 

Do You Juice? 

From Rachel McManus:  REPLY 
I am gradually migrating to an all-vegetarian diet. I am finding it hard to get all the veggies I need, so I'm interested in getting a juicer. I would love recommendations for juicers and really good juicing books. There are a million out there, and I don't want to waste my money on a book that requires too many hard-to-find ingredients. Thanks!


Roll the Dice
From Mina Jazzo:  REPLY
Our non-profit association is considering a Casino Night for a fundraiser. Has anyone done a similarly themed event, and can provide suggestions, helpful hints, comments, or other words of advice? Any feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you!


Looking for Reading Intensive Summer Camp
From Donata Joseph:  REPLY
My son is over one year behind in his reading. Due to his ADHD and ODD, his behavior has interfered with his learning. I need an excellent summer program that can focus only on reading skills to help him get to his age-appropriate level. Thank you very much.


Have you Ever Wondered How Much Language Your Baby Understands?
From Dr. Ana Gouvea:  REPLY
If you would like to know, we would like to invite you and your baby to participate in one of our language studies at Florida International University. We are investigating how children learn language. The entire study takes less than an hour and you will be with your child at all times. We will be measuring how long he or she pays attention to auditory and visual stimuli. We are currently looking for babies between 14-21 months of age. If you're interested in participating or would like more information, please reply above.*

 

 

Where to Live?
From Donna Ernst:  REPLY

Need to Lube Up the Old Hurricane Shutters!
From Patricia Leary:  REPLY
It's that time of the year again, and I am in need of an individual or a small but reputable hurricane shutter company who can lubricate my boss' aluminum hurricane shutters in Miami Beach. On a budget but need someone who is dependable and reliable. Thank you in advance!


Where Can Moms Find Meaningful Work?
From Margaret Beasley:  REPLY
After years of being a stay-at-home mom, my kids are finally in school for the majority of the day. I am looking to work, but I don't want to report to a traditional 9-to-5 office job. I've heard there are websites out there that offer opportunities for "mompreneurs" - MomCorps is one of them. Does anyone know of a website, message board, blog or niche employment agency in our community that caters to women looking for flexible, fulfilling job opportunities? I'm not interested in direct sales or home parties - I want a real career, just not in the traditional setting. Thanks!

  

 


Want to Show Our Troops Some Love?
From Amy Zambrano:  REPLY
If you or a group that you or your child belongs to (church, school, summer camp, women's group, girl/boyscouts, etc.) want to send a care package, letters, or email a member of our armed forces fighting on the front lines, please reply above and I will send you their addresses! You can ship packages for just $12.80, regardless of weight, through the post office in special APO boxes. They love snacks (mac-n-cheese, soups, power bars, pop tarts, and beef jerky), chapstick, batteries, phone cards, etc. Even just hearing from people back home via email reminds them that they are remembered and appreciated! Thank you.*

School's Out For Summer
From Stewart Timothy Carrell:  REPLY
It's here!  And, we're not only talking about the South Florida heat.  Summertime is filled with trips to the beach, pool party BBQ's ... and also rainy afternoons.  When stuck indoors, children can get bored and restless, but not when they are spending time with our creative, inspiring and fun-loving sitters.  Let our sitters or nannies entertain your kids while giving you the break you deserve so that the entire family can beat the heat happily.  All of our candidates are experienced, qualified, educated, CPR/First Aid Certified and personally interviewed/background checked. We can also provide housekeeper or nanny/housekeeper candidates.  Visit our website  HERE or email us HERE to learn more.*
