Wood You Know Where I Could Find a Woodie?
From Ashley Schutz: REPLY I'm chairing a fundraiser in October with a classic 1960s surf theme. We'd like to display a vintage Woodie wagon as part of our decor. Do you know anyone who owns one and might be willing to lend or rent it out for one night? Or maybe you have a connection with a classic car club that could help us out? I found the National Woodie Club's website but they don't seem to have any chapters in South Florida. Thanks, JABBERS!

The University of Miami's Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program offers effective, individual and group treatment for children and adolescents with anxiety or depression, some of which are available at a low cost through on-going research studies. Call us at (305) 284-9852 Ext. 1 or click HERE to learn more.*

 I'll Have What She's Having From Team JAB We all have that one friend who knows EVERYTHING.

Well, now you have that in JustAskBoo, but unlike your proprietary friend, we aren't stingy with the information. That's the kind of thing you want to pass along and as of today, we made it even easier for you to do just that. Simply forward the newsletter to your closest friends and tell them to SIGN UP! They will thank you, because JAB is just too good to keep to yourself. |
