 When thoughtful, like-minded and knowledgeable people come together, amazing things happen! At JAB, we've seen this kind of teamwork and sense of community occur firsthand. We're just getting the year started and we've already seen an overwhelming number of responses to JABBERS posts and requests! Whether it's by sending words of  encouragement to a mother struggling to stay positive while her child battles an illness, sharing the best neighborhood resources with one another or helping others get involved in their community, JABBERS are always committed to helping each other. So, as you respond to this week's posts, know that your kindness is appreciated and remember the quote by Margaret Mead: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Out of the Ballpark
From Team JAB 
If you need further proof that age is just a state of mind, just look at Tony Snetro who, at 95 years old, is the oldest member of the Young Viejos softball team that still plays twice per week (watch it HERE). He is an inspiration to the whole community (particularly the 65-year-old rookies on his team), and especially to his granddaughter Ashley Schutz, our former Palm Beach Editor and Lifetime JABBER. So make this your goal for 2013: get inspired and go for it ... because you're never too old and it's never too late. Your JAB community is rooting for you.
