lemonade... good news from newport

august 2016 issue #85

Hi Friends!

The summer is really speeding by, and sometimes, so are the cars! Although traffic can be very frustrating at this time of year, I'd like to remind everyone to be considerate when driving around town and please SHARE THE ROAD. Remember, those of us running, biking or walking are not leaving a carbon footprint, not causing additional traffic and not taking up precious parking spaces. These are benefits to everyone including drivers, so please be patient and allow everyone a little extra room and time to reach their destinations safely. Meanwhile, enjoy the beautiful scenery and refreshing sea breezes we are blessed with across our Island home.

See You at the Beach!
