Hometown Happenings

There’s hardly a day that goes by in which I don’t get a press release or invitation to some kind of fundraising dinner or event seeking my support and/or attendance. My weekends are pretty much tied up with high school football from Thursday to Saturday so making these events is nearly impossible but I would at least like to mention a few of them.

Klee’s Bar & Grill is holding their annual golf outing for Ocean of Love at Gamblers Ridge Wednesday and this is annually one of the best run and most successful golf events on the schedule. Over 200 golfers will tee it up and best wishes to Glenn McCarthy, Joe Carey and the rest of the volunteers for a great day.

Speaking of golf outings, the Toms River East and Toms River South Baseball programs will hold their 3rd annual Tournament next Monday at the Lakewood Country Club while on the same day the Central Regional Golf Classic will be held at Cedar Creek Golf Course with the football and baseball programs joining forces to help their programs.

This Sunday (October 7) the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Ocean County will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a gala at the Georgian Court University Casino beginning at 2pm. The event includes food and drink, entertainment and a silent auction and will also induct founding members Monsignor Casimir Ladzinski, Father Walter Hartt and Father Kevin Moroney into the organizations Legacy Society. The Interfaith Hospitality Network of Ocean County provides shelter, food and support servicesto homeless families. For ticket information you can call them at (732) 736-1550.

The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill Ocean County holds its annual fundraising dinner on Saturday, October 13th at the Bayville Firehouse and it’s not your typical event. That’s because the servers will include some celebrity guests who will try and solicit tips which go towards the effort. NAMI is a national organization whose main goal is to support caregivers of family members afflicted with brain disorders.
For information on the organization of the dinner call (732) 886-7461.
