We’re Grapevine Pro and we’re an Exterior Home Remodeling company who focuses on Roofing, Siding, and Windows. Although our name is new in the neighborhood, we’ve been locals all our lives.

This is why we go the extra mile and why our first priority is always the customer’s satisfaction. We are home owners and family members, just like yourself, looking to do right by those around us. We believe this commitment sets us apart from other contractors who just want to get the job done. Even after the work is completed, our door is always open and our staff is ready to help.

Welcome New Member: Brew Coffee Bar

Brandon Castro, the owner of the new Brew Coffee Bar, believes that through coffee and community, his business can become a hotspot at 133a Main St., Matawan.

“While in quarantine, I decided to take my love of coffee to the next level and become Specialty Coffee Association certified in the science and preparation of coffee brewing and tasting. I studied online and in-person through Coffee Project New York,” Castro said.

“Brew Coffee Bar focuses on American style drip coffee and pour-overs. We offer several local coffee blends that are approachable, but sustainably sourced. With offerings from light to dark roasts there is something for everyone. We also carry light pastries and locally blended teas,” he said.

As the owner of a small business, Castro expressed the importance of supporting home-grown businesses by shopping locally. He said the personalized level of service his business can provide to its customers cannot always be found at larger operations.

“It is important to shop local because those businesses are usually the ones most passionate about their craft or service; they offer a level of care and love you won’t find at big-name places … when you can stay in town or right next door, you get to know the owners and the daily workers. That bond to the local products or people is a feeling like no other,” Castro said.

Castro, who is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., attended the local Cliffwood Elementary School and graduated from Matawan Regional High School. He has a passion for creating a local space that serves those around him. For Castro, the goal of Brew Coffee Bar is “to become a staple of the community” by offering high-quality service, hosting social events and “bringing awareness to what coffee can be.”

Welcome New Member: Elise Lenhart

As a Life-Cycle Celebrant, I am a professionally trained ceremony specialist who has an extensive background in the history of ritual, ceremony and traditions in many cultures and religions. Currently specializing in funerals and weddings, my journey to becoming a Life-Cycle Celebrant began at a young age with the death of my father. That particular point in time had a powerful impact and helped to direct the course of my life in ways that I continue to discover.

I’ve pursued a longing to understand the moments in our life that show us the depth of who we are, whether those moments are joyful, sorrowful or in the quiet moments we spend enjoying family and friends. Life has an uncanny way of reminding us who we are and why we are here, and my love of travel, new cultures and the friendships I’ve fostered along the way has been a catalyst to understand why I’m here.

What I’ve come to learn along the way is how easily we can miss the beauty of life that surrounds us, even in the smallest of moments. To celebrate the beauty of life and the lives of our loved ones is one of the ways we nurture our legacy for others to carry forward.

Welcome New Member: Tao & Zen Acupuncture

At Tao & Zen Acupuncture, the patient is always the most important person in the room. The focus of an acupuncture is to treat the person rather than a condition; by listening to the patient, gathering the facts, and looking at the big picture, a personalized treatment plan is developed and tweaked as needed according to patient feedback. Ultimately, acupuncture works by stimulating the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Safe, drug-free treatments are available to alleviate a host of ailments and to reach and maintain optimal health.

Acupuncture is a medical art with a rich and long-standing history; the earliest known Chinese medical texts date back to between 186 and 156 BC. The World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health released a report in 2003 listing conditions effectively treated by acupuncture, including

• Anxiety
• Osteoarthritis
• Sciatica
• Depression
• Fibromyalgia
• Acid reflux
• Insomnia
• Peripheral neuropathies
• Irritable bowel and colitis
• Headache and migraine
• Disc issues
• Menopausal syndrome

Welcome New Member: Matawan United Methodist Church

We invite you to discover this sacred space for worship, with its beautiful people. Find here joy, laughter and friendship. We joyfully welcome everyone—and we mean EVERYONE! We are especially sensitive to those who have little or no history of religious expression, but who yearn for spiritual meaning and experience. We reach out to those who are lonely, on the margin of life, and those who experience discrimination with respect to race or gender identity and expression. We gather every Sunday at 10 am. Come early and enjoy praise music. Refreshments and friendship take place afterward in the Fellowship Hall.

The church serves the community in a variety of ministries: a Food Pantry, Thrift Shop and a Flea Market on Saturdays, beginning in May. We support the Women’s Shelter with a Holiday collection. The church sponsors both a boy scout and a girl scout troop. Our volley ball court was renovated by High School volunteers and is open to the public. We offer Rummage Sales twice a year, as well as special dinners and a Holiday Tea as fundraisers. Two districts vote here.

Our pastor, Nick Connolly, entered a life of ministry sixty years ago, first as a Jesuit for twenty-four years, the remaining years as a United Methodist pastor. He brings a background in professional counseling. He simply loves being a pastor and connecting with others. Come! Find the divine within yourself and share the joy!

Welcome New Member: VoiceNEXT

Fourteen years ago, Mike and I set out to build a better phone company for business. Back then, not too many people had ever heard of VoIP which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It may not yet be a household word, but today, it is much more recognized. The Internet was called the Internet. Now it is popular to call it the Cloud.

So we started VoiceNEXT, a phone company that hosts our clients’ phone systems in the Cloud. That means several things. There are savings up to 80% over the cost of other business phone systems because there is no “phone system” to buy. Our customers need only buy the phones. Our voice quality is unparalleled. You need never miss an important phone call ever again as our mobility features can keep you in touch no matter where you happen to be. Snow storm keeping you from getting to the office? Is there a power outage? Is the Internet down? None of these will interrupt your ability to communicate if you are a VoiceNEXT customer.

The most important reason to consider moving your business phone services to VoiceNEXT is that we care as much about our business you do. We are the phone company that ALWAYS answers the phone. Need help, need to make a change, we are there for you 24/7/365. There is no need to press ten buttons before you get to speak to a live person.

So if your old phone system is on its last legs, or if you want to reduce costs, increase efficiency and productivity, give us a call us to talk about how VoiceNEXT can help your business grow. Let us manage your communications so that you can manage of your business.
