Take a Stand Against Bullying From Team JAB  JABBERS, did you know that two out of three teens are verbally or physically harassed every year? Or that 160,000 kids miss school every day due to the fear of attack or intimidation by other students? Sadly, the statistics of bullying are staggering. In response to the bullying epidemic, October has been declared National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month. It's a time when communities can unite nationwide to raise awareness of bullying prevention through events, activities, outreach, and education. By shedding light on this problem, people can become more aware and take steps to prevent it. Visit www.stopbullying.gov to read about the warning signs of bullying.

Hard Times in the Big EasyIt seems finding a charter boat in the Big Easy isn't exactly easy! We will be in New Orleans for Thanksgiving to watch our son sail in a regatta. We would love to be on the water to watch him, but haven't been able to find any charter boats. If you know of anyone with boating connections or even someone with a boat they would charter with or without a captain, please let me know! Thank you.

Appreciating Miami's Unique Historical Real Estate
By Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtors: REPLY 
You probably saw Monday's JAB post about my new historic listing in Schenley Park. I've gotten such good feedback about it which makes me happy, reminding me there are still people who appreciate the uniqueness and charm of these "old" homes. You feel the history surrounding you at this home which is so special to me. It got me thinking about other unique properties throughout Miami. Did you know there's currently a home on the market built in 1899 - the oldest home in all of Coral Gables? Listed with Houston Haynie at EWM, the property is located on Maynada and has 2 bedrooms/1.5 bathrooms and even an original tin ceiling! At a time when so many are looking for new construction homes, I still love finding these gems that tell such rich stories of our own Miami history, and I love organizations like The Villagers who help keep these bits of history around!
