PUBLISHER’S NOTE
A s I sat down to write this note, I glanced out the window to see the beautifully lit bridges and lake beginning to freeze over. A sight I haven’t seen in years. It instantly brought back memories of childhood, bundling up and heading out with friends to ice skate until our cheeks were red and our toes were numb. Just a few days ago, our own children raced home from school, thrilled by a light dusting of snow, and spent the afternoon sledding “the bowl” until it was dark. The magic of winter in Spring Lake continues to connect generations with its charm and beauty. Moments like these remind us of how deeply grateful we are to call this special place home. In this February issue we are excited to bring you stories of love. Love of a town, kindness, community, dance, and last, but certainly not least, sourdough bread. We are thrilled to introduce residents to The Kindness Café and the incredible team bringing its vision to life. Now located in the Manasquan Bank branch in Spring Lake Heights, the café has reopened in its new home. We’re excited to share the story of how Manasquan Bank and The Kindness Café team collaborated to expand their shared commitment to supporting individuals with diverse abilities and enriching the broader community. The Kindness Café is a welcoming space of warmth and connection, and we encourage everyone to stop by and experience it for themselves. Of course, we want to thank all of our Sponsors that make it possible for Stroll Spring Lake to be mailed for free each month to all residents of Spring Lake. We want to especially thank Manasquan Bank, who was one of the Founding Sponsors of this publication, and acknowledge their commitment to our entire community. We are always looking for feedback and meaningful participation from those in the community, and look forward to continuing to publish Stroll Spring Lake for years to come. If you have a story idea or family we should highlight, please reach out to us and let us continue to tell the inspirational stories that make this Love & Gratitude
community so special. Follow us on Instagram or Facebook to get access to our digital magazine @ Strollspringlake.
