Random Thursday Thoughts

Random thoughts on a Thursday morning which is somewhat significant for me because tonight is the Toms River-Ocean County Chamber of Commerce 46th Annual Gala at Eagle Ridge Golf Club. It will make my swansong as Chairman as I will pass to gavel to Patricia Blake-Flum of Sylvan Learning Center. I’m sure you’ll hear more on this tomorrow.

The Ocean Road School PTO will hold a fundraiser tonight for their “Project 5th Grade” at Ferrara’s in Point Pleasant Beach. The evening will feature a
three-course meal plus comedy entertainment and there are still tickets for the event which runs from 7-10pm. Call (732) 714-1786.

Its cops versus cops to help a young girl in Jackson Friday night. The Jackson Township Police and the New Jersey State Police will square off in a flag football game to benefit Chelsey Thomas who was critically injured in a car accident. The game will be played at the Jackson Pop Warner Holman Field on Manhattan Street with the event beginning at 6pm and the game itself starting at 7:30. There will be food, door prizes and a DJ with a $10 admission for adults and either $7 or $5 for children.

The Beachwood Soccer Club is now holding registration for the fall season and the next sign-up will be Sunday from 9:30-11:30 at the soccer complex on Berkeley Avenue. Children born before September 30th, 2005 can register and for more information visit www.beachwoodsoccer.com.

The more things change the more they remain the same. Toms River North and Toms River South will meet in the finals of the Ocean County Baseball Tournament Friday night at Toms River High School East. While Jackson Memorial has been the dominant team at the shore this spring it’s the Mariners and defending champion Indians meeting for the title. South has won the OCT a record ten times under Coach Ken Frank.
