The Red Ball Is Closer! – No The Green Ball Is Closer! – How do I respond to that argument? Who cares!!!
Casual Bocce is back for it’s incredible FIFTH season!!!
Casual Bocce is the same game that you already know and love; bocce without the set teams or measuring the balls. Or maybe you don’t know the game and want to give it a try?
Casual Bocce is currently in progress. Games are on THURSDAY from 1-3P.M. at Clubhouse 1 on 631 Jamaica Blvd. While there is always room for everyone to play, it is encouraged to call ahead to make sure there is a game going or that there is room.
We are NOT associated with the Official Bocce League which will run concurrently earlier in the week. For the Official Bocce League information, please see their post right here in the newsletter.
For any questions or information, call Steve Abramson at 609-661-0794.

Our next meeting is April 8th at 12:00 PM Club House One. At 11:30 AM coffee and donuts will be served prior to the meeting. Having taken our first trip of the year to Atlantic City Resorts, we are looking forward to future trips. Our next scheduled event on May 16th, will be our Picnic at Wells Mills County Park in Waretown. The park features over 20 miles of hiking for all to enjoy, a beautiful lake with canoe rentals, picnic area, fishing, or a chance to just sit on the Dam where you will probably see turtles (so bring your beach chair). Fishing poles will be provided if you'd like to try and catch the "big one", along with basic instructions on fishing. However, it's a picnic, hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided, but rather than charging a fee, bring a Potluck dish to share. This is a social event for members only. Future upcoming events planned include a Blue Claws game, picnic dinner and fireworks on June 20th, a luncheon tour on the River Lady of Toms River on September 11th. Tickets for the game and the River Lady are available on the first and third Tuesday of the month between noon and 1:00 PM in Clubhouse ONE. Important: You do not have to fish to be a member of our Club! However, if you are a fisherperson in May we will announce our upcoming fishing schedule.

Our hospital is certainly a bustling place compared to the way it was in September 15, 1961, when it opened with fifty beds and fifteen physicians on staff and it was called Community Medical Center. It is now RWJ Barnabas Health, with its sister hospital seventeen minutes away by helicopter from the rooftop helipad. At that time it was a vision to have a community hospital. Construction is going on right at this time to allow the patients to have all the advantages available to diagnose and treat each person with the most up to date equipment. Our dedicated volunteers continue to raise funds to be a part of the improvements and ongoing transformation of this important part of our community.
Your donations and support are what makes us as successful as we are. We thank you for your continued support. If you would like to remember a birthday, graduation, anniversary, any special occasion or loved one, please consider making your donation to Holly Twig. We will send a special note to the person or family you are remembering or honoring, as well as a letter to you for your records. Donations are an easy way to support this very worthwhile group.
Our Holly Twig members, who knit and crochet, are busy all year long making hats for the newborn babies to wear home as well as making chemo caps for patients in the Oncology Department. All of our hats are made by Holly Twig members, and we use approved patterns. We welcome your donations of yarn to keep our projects going.
Our meetings are scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month. Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 13th. We have coffee and refreshments at 9:30AM and the meeting begins at 10:00 AM at HC Berkeley Clubhouse 2. New members and guests are always welcome. Sometimes, we have time for an informative program. In February we had a hypnotherapist. That was fun!
