ReplyJews eat latkes because they are fried in oil. This reminds us of the miracle that the oil lasted 8 days ( number of days of Chanukah) for the eternal light.
My plans- going to a family Chanukah party, lighting a candle each night, receiving a present each night and eating latkes. Years ago, the Jewish people did not receive gifts each night. The parents would quiz children about various Jewish facts or make it a learning lesson and give them gelt ( money) as a reward. Presents began as Jewish children complained that their Christian friends were getting presents and they were not. -

ReplyNational Night Out was wonderful at Dutterer Park in Westminster. The Junior Women's Club did a superb job entertaining young and old alike. They had a terrific DJ who got people up and dancing, pizza, cake, cool pops, drinks and games with prizes. Everything was free! They had non profit organizations handing out freebies and sharing worthwhile advice. Door prizes and raffles too!

ReplyA dog park would be perfect for Westminster and the surrounding areas. So many people have expressed to me the need for a place where dogs could socialize with each other and other people. The more a dog is around other dogs and people, the more a dog tends to be very friendly. I say hooray for this idea and dog owners, please send in a little bit of money now so we can get the fencing, etc and get it open.

ReplyIt is unbelievable that Robin Frazier continues to use her own car and ask to be reimburse for mileage every time. You would think by know she would be getting the hint that she should come up with another plan- ie- the county pool cars or CARPOOL!
