Nancy's Nuggets
Nancy is taking this week off, so Dwight has stepped in to assist us. Nancy will be rejoining us with our next edition.
A first grade school teacher in Virginia had twenty-five students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.
It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Here are some of the best from these precocious six year olds
Don't change horses ... until they stop running.
Strike while the ... bug is close.
It's always darkest before ... Daylight Saving Time.
Never underestimate the power of ... termites.
You can lead a horse to water but ... how?
Don't bite the hand that ... looks dirty.
No news is ... impossible.
There are none so blind as ... Stevie Wonder.
You can't teach an old dog new ... math.
An idle mind is ... the best way to relax.
Where there's smoke there's ... pollution.
Happy the bride who ... gets all the presents.
A penny saved is ... not much
When the blind lead the blind ... get out of the way.
Two's company, three's ... the Musketeers
Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and ... you have to blow your nose.

Where's The Newsletter?
Today's newsletter will be the last one until August 12. Yes, I know how disappointed you are and I feel your pain. In the next few weeks, we'll be very busy building the 2006 QFLEA Holiday Extravanganza, a collection of gift-giving ideas from our QFLEA vendors that this year will be bigger and better than ever. We also know that many of our readers take summer vacations, we will take a small break now for a few weeks.
Now, I know what you must be thinking. It's 106 degrees out there and the humidity is causing everything around you to droop, so why is Charley thinking about the holidays? Well, believe it or not, it takes about two months of pretty intense work to get this annual special ready. It starts today with the instructions being sent out to those vendors participating this year and will continue through the summer with website design, creation of graphics, promotion and more. It is always our hope to have the major work done by September 1. Then, September is dedicated to minor revisions, last minute adjustments and big time promotion so that we can launch October 1, 2006.
So let me take this opportunity to with you all a very happy, safe, Fourth of July weekend, a wonderfully restful summer ... and also to be the first one to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, etc.

Congratulations!
Hosting Connecticut LLC was awarded a Volunteer appreciation award at the Windsor Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner and Business Meeting on June 9, 2006. Paula M. Pierce, owner of Hosting Connecticut LLC was also honored with the Director of the Year Award as an active member of the Board of Directors.
Hosting Connecticut is a valuable member of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce, says Executive Director, Jane Garibay. Paula Pierce has actively participated in or chaired several of the community and business development committees at the Chamber of Commerce including Tourism, Technology, White Lights, and the annual Benefit Auction.
Pierce says she spends a good 25% of her time on community projects through the Chamber of Commerce. "I enjoy working with the people at the Chamber because their goals are to continuously improve the local economy through education and support of local businesses. When I founded Hosting Connecticut in November 2002, I was amazed at the support I received from the Chamber. From promotional activities to networking events, I quickly learned that the Chamber of Commerce was the place to learn and expand my business while meeting and assisting others in the business community."
Final Thought
It's ridiculous that we still have a hole in the ozone layer. We have men, we have rockets, we have Saran Wrap ... fix it! ... Lewis Black.
