JABbubble

Some of our readers are skiing this week, and some will be skiing at various times over the next month. Usually, one doesn't think of Florida and skiing, but I recently learned that the Miami Ski Club is one of the largest in the nation.  I guess we Floridians need to get our snow fix!  For those of you traveling, may you have a wonderful time.  The rest of us will be home enjoying the uninterrupted sunshine.  Oh, and while you are away, don't forget to check JAB out on your mobile device-we go everywhere!

Driver Needed In North Miami

From Allison Solow: Reply

My mother is 88-year-old and bed-ridden since breaking her ankle. I am looking for a reliable, affordable wheelchair taxi/van service in the North Miami Beach area around Aventura. Thus far, the two vans we've hired have arrived late -- once not at all until we called a second time -- and the cost was over $100 round trip. Does anyone have experience and information about a reliable, reasonable wheelchair van transport in this part of the city? Please reply above.

What is JustAskBoo?
JustAskBoo is an easy, fun and free way of helping you connect with your friends and theirs, in order to share information: resources, recommendations, referrals, advice, help and more. They also use it to spread the word about special events, advertise their businesses and improve their communities. It works kind of like a community bulletin in the form of an e-newsletter. It is safe, easy to use, no-nonsense, and family-friendly.

Once a week you will receive a JustAskBoo email with postings on it. Most of these postings are FREE, and are from people looking to YOU to help them find things they need.

Are you looking for something specific but don't know how to find it? A handyman? A lamp repair shop? A personal trainer or caterer or piano teacher? Wondering where you can buy a new swingset? JAB it! Simply email me at courtney@justaskboo.com , I'll post your request on the next newsletter, and other readers will respond directly to you. That's it. No strings, no drama.

All I ask is that you help me spread the word. Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to helping you.
