Stand Up to Childhood Cancer
From Team JAB
Hosting a lemonade stand is not only a fun activity for kids, but also a way to make a difference in the community. This weekend, join Team JAB in commemorating National Lemonade Days, June 7, 8 and 9, by setting up a lemonade stand in your neighborhood to help fund childhood cancer research. Here's how to do it:
  1. Register your lemonade stand with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation HERE. Include #LovetoJAB in your fundraising page name.
  2. Send us the link to your fundraising page and/or the location of your lemonade stand (cross-streets are acceptable) by email and we will promote it on Facebook and Twitter this weekend.
  3. Check out our Pinterest board for lemonade recipes and everything lemon-inspired.
  4. Take a photo of your lemonade stand this weekend and email it to us HERE. We will post the photos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Team JAB will dedicate our lemonade stands in memory of Bella Rodriguez-Torres, who recently passed away from Rhabdomyosarcoma at 10 years old. We invite JABBERS to join us in this dedication, and most importantly, Live Like Bella!

Anonymously Yours 
From Team JAB
We publish JABBERS' first and last names with great pride. We are real people in our community ~ a premier, intimate network of trusted friends and neighbors. In fact, that's what people love most about JAB. But here at JAB, there's also a time and a place for discretion. Unlike other online services, JustAskBoo posts are filtered through an editor for quality control, providing anonymity for the most sensitive of matters. And in this brave new world of online overshare, this means your nosy neighbor can talk about her garden, and not your child's bedwetting! Happy JABBING!

The Islands of Cocoplum in Coral Gables

From Ashley Cusack: REPLY
Cocoplum is one of the nicest gated communities in Coral Gables. Most of the homes within Cocoplum's gates are waterfront, many with no bridges to the bay, making it even more desirable. Like the rest of Miami, prices of waterfront homes in Cocoplum have been on the rise in the past few years and the trend continues upward. This week I analyzed waterfront sales in Cocoplum from the past six months and compared it to the same six months in recent years. This year, there have been six closed sales, compared to four in 2012 and none in 2011! Last year, these homes sold for an average of $501/square foot and that number has increased 6% this year to $529/square foot. There are currently seven waterfront homes pending sale in Cocoplum with an additional 13 homes on the market. Cocoplum is busy! Interested in buying in there? I can help! Reply above or visit my website HERE.*



 
A Cottage for our Caregiver
