Dear JABBERS: My mother is Southern. So naturally, I'm big on thank you notes.
I want to thank each of you, JABBERS, for the ongoing contributions that you have made to JustAskBoo. Thank you for the photos of South Florida you have sent us for our Facebook and Instagram pages (please keep them coming!), the stories you have told us for our new Six Degrees of JAB feature, and all the resources you have shared with one another. JAB started out as an email blast five years ago. It evolved into a resource-sharing e-newsletter, and we have since grown into one of South Florida's leading digital publications, and a can't-live-without resource for tens of thousands of loyal JABBERS.
 You might have read in the February 24 Miami Herald Business Monday section that we have been working on our second round of investment funding. I am proud to report that we have exceeded our goal! And with this, I would like to extend a special thanks to our angel investors.
With this new round of capital, we will enhance our technology and our website to make JABBING even easier and more fun. We even plan to bring you a JAB app, which will enable you to post and respond on our newsletters, place classified ads and access the Treasure Chest. We will also host some fun parties and events so that we can all JAB together in person. We assure you that we will work hard to maintain the integrity of JAB, so that you can continue to count on us for reliability and quality control. And there is a very simple way that you can help us improve it even more ... spread the word to your friends who are not yet JABBERS. They can sign up HERE.
Stay tuned for these exciting changes. They are all designed to make JABBING even better for you!
Thank you again and Happy JABBING!

To Franchise, Or Not To Franchise: That Is The Question
From Elayne Simione: REPLY
I am interested in buying a franchise business and would love to hear from someone who has experience with this. I know that every business model is different but I would love to know whether you felt that it was a positive and worthwhile experience overall. Thank you!

 JABBERS Helping JABBERS
From Team JAB
JABBER Julie Simon wrote in to share the marvelous story of her Marine son, his childhood bunk bed, and two happy families: A $15 classified ad to sell the bed on JustAskBoo connected Julie and her family to a single mother struggling to furnish her Habitat for Humanity home. The bed was donated, and, upon his return from deployment in Afghanistan,  Julie's son offered his pick-up truck for the trek to North Miami, "We dismantled the beds, loaded everything into the truck and together, we all delivered the beds to a very happy family." Read the full story HERE. If you have made a special connection through JAB and would like to share it, please email us HERE.

Pardon My French
My daughter is currently enrolled in the French magnet program at Sunset Elementary. My youngest will start the same program in August and I'd like to enroll them both in basic French lessons this summer to get them prepared. Do you know of a local summer program that can help? Or, do you know of a tutor who can teach them over the summer? Your replies are much appreciated. Merci!
