KOHELET SILVERWARE
Apparently, most of Kohelet's silverware has "disappeared" of late. Since we don't want to use plastic-ware and then toss it out, we have purchased new silverware for Kohelet use. Please find, use, enjoy, and return all these pieces to the Kohelet closet adjoining the oven. Let's all make sure none of this "disappears."

FLORIDA CONDO RENTAL
Diane Pincus and Tom Berl would like to see if anyone would like to rent a two bedroom condo on the ocean in Longboat Key Florida ( this is a key right off of the lovely town of Sarasota)
Diane and Tom usually go down from February 16 to March 9.
Unfortunately this year, Diane had a shoulder injury and needs to have surgery on February first, and thus they are unable to go.
The south facing condo has two bedrooms as individual suites. It easily accommodates two couples. There are chairs and umbrellas on the beach, a lovely pool, free bicycles to pedal around the Key and a work out room.
The rent is 1700 dollars a week, usually Saturday to Saturday.
The available weeks are: 2/16 to 2/23, 2/23 to 3/2 and 3/2 to 3/9
Contact Diane and Tom at 303-758-4029 or dianepincus@aol.com
