We thank everyone who came out and enjoyed The Recreation Committee & GoGetters Poolside Concerts and Pizza/Ice Cream Parties with Joe Leo and Heart & Soul! Our two groups look forward to closing our series with a concert by the Strictly 60's Band on September 12.

As Recreation Committee Chair, I arranged for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Mobile Unit to provide Real ID appointments on July 1, August 16, and August 29th.  It has been great fun meeting so many residents while assisting them in getting appointments!  I am working hard to get them back through the fall!

As cooler weather approaches, we have some even cooler activities planned! We can't wait to share more details about our ScareCrow Decorating Contest, One Woman Show 'Crying on the Camino', Sentimental Cruisers Car Show, Time to Reminisce Mixer and a trip to the Shore Club for the Bruce Springsteen Tribute. Our monthly craft and game nights will start back up, so keep your eyes open for more information!
