Our Thoughts and Prayers are in Newtown, Connecticut

From Team JAB Newtown  

We are utterly heartbroken to think about the unfathomable loss the Newtown community has suffered. This tragedy has left our nation in mourning, grief-stricken by the loss and inspired by the acts of heroism. As Mister Rogers wrote, "When I was a boy and saw scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'" To help those affected in Newtown, see below for a list of charities that are collecting resources:

  • An official fund for victims' families, and the community as a whole, has now been established: The Sandy Hook School Support Fund, set up by the United Way of Western Connecticut will provide support services to families and the community. All donations to this fund will go directly to those affected. To donate, click HERE.  
  • Newtown Youth & Family Services, a nonprofit mental health clinic, will be offering emergency counseling for those impacted. Donations to the organization can be made HERE
  • The Newtown Memorial fund is taking donations for the families and community affected, and is also actively recruiting volunteers and offers of help of all kinds. To help, click HERE.

The Grass Is Always Greener...
From Bibi Mojena:  REPLY 
I used to have my lawn fumigated, but stopped because every time my son played outside, he would get a rash. It's been about two years since I last had it done so now my lawn is full of weeds! Do you know of a lawn service that can spray for weeds with natural, non-toxic chemicals? Thanks for your ideas.
 

An Entirely Wonderful Movie On A Perfect Night
From Cary Martinez:  REPLY
Join us for an evening of live music, martinis and a movie under the stars, this Wednesday, December 19th at Pinecrest Gardens! This month we're featuring "Bridget Jones Diary," a delicious romantic comedy starring Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth. Anna Smith, of Film4, says "a cheerfully frothy romantic comedy that benefits from sharp writing, lively performances and touching characterization." Gates open at 6:30 pm for live, unplugged guitar, cocktails and tapas, and film begins at 8 pm. It's holiday week, everyone ... take a breather and some quality personal time before all the madness begins. Admission $5.
