Well, it seems that Hurricane Sandy did more than destroy homes and businesses; it also disrupted many planned events such as our annual Sportsperson-of-the-Year dinner. I have to say the folks over at the Crystal Pt. Yacht Club in Pt. Pleasant where we hold our dinner every year were very helpful and understanding and actually even suggested it might be a good idea to postpone the dinner to a future date to allow everyone time to recover from this horrific storm. So, with that being said, our new date for the dinner is Sunday, April 14th, 2013 from 4:00 to 9:00 PM. We will have a cocktail hour with plenty of hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar and three main entrees, fish, chicken & beef, and plenty of desserts with coffee and tea.
This year’s honoree and our Sportsperson-of-the-year is Tim Burden from the Beach Buggy Association. Tim was also understanding of our postponing the dinner and was in support of it.
If you need tickets for the dinner, contact Dan Miller at blueangray@comcst.net or (609) 641-7821. Tickets are $75.00 per ticket and $600.00 for a table of 10 which is a $150 savings.
I am still collecting donations, so if you wish to donate something I can be reached at (609) 660-2126 or pturi6@comcast.net.
So get a table of 10 together and come on out and have a good time with some friends and take home one or more of the many prizes we will have this year. And as always I have prizes for the ladies too. This is a major fundraiser for Jersey Coast, so if you can make it to the dinner and honor our sportsperson-of the-year, it will go a long way toward supporting Jersey Coast in our efforts in representing the best interests of the recreational angler.
