Welcome back Ralph's Ices & Ice Cream Store. We know it is a sure sign of spring when we see that Ray is back and that the store is open again. (He is closed all winter). I can't wait to stop by and say hello. I hope you will do the same.

Speaking of spring and getting out into the sunshine and fresh air, I would like to mention that our member, Ladies Work Out Express, on Merrick Road is a great place to get in shape and tone those muscles. Arline and Rochelle can be reached at 541-2284. Their 30-minute workout is fantastic!

George of Lite'n Up Ladies located on Park Blvd. is a terrific trainer and coach. H works individually with his ladies and I understand he even prepares special meals for his clients. George can be reached at 457-7179. His program is easy and is a perfect way to help you shed those winter pounds.

By the way, Frank and Richie of the J & R Discount Store on Park Blvd. are all ready for the Easter and Passover holidays. All of their holiday merchandise is in and they have everything you might need to decorate your homes. It is truly a one-stop shopping experience as they have everything in that store you could possibly think of (797-9368).

We all hope you visit our village soon for all of your shopping needs.
