More than 100 people attended a special luncheon Wednesday at Woodlake Country Club in Lakewood as the Toms River-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce honored Matt Smith along with Ed Sunday and Gateway Toyota.
Both received the 2009 Pinnacle Philanthropic Leadership Awards for their
continued service to the Chamber and the community. Smith, a partner in the consulting engineering firm of O’Donnell, Stanton & Associates and Gateway Toyota were previously honored as Distinguished Citizens and Organizations of the Year, which is part of the criteria for the Pinnacle Award.
Previous honorees who attended yesterday’s luncheon included attorneys Harvey York and Bob Novy, developer Gary Lotano, Nina Anuario of OceanFirst Bank, Toms River Police Chief Mike Mastronardy and Community Medical Center, represented by Rick Palllamary.
Also announced yesterday were details of the 46th Annual Reception and Dinner Gala which will be held on May 14th at Eagle Ridge Golf Club. Retired Superior Court Judge Eugene Serpentelli will be saluted as Distinguished Citizen of the Year while the Presbyterian Church of Toms River has been selected as the “Organization of the Year.”
The Atlantic Club in Manasquan and the Muscular Dystrophy Association will host a benefit on Friday, January 30th with all proceeds going to Augie’s Quest, which is the MDA’s ALS Research Initiative.
