Save the date! Our Sportsperson of the Year Dinner is going to be held on Saturday evening November 11th. Once again, the dinner will be held at the Captain’s Inn located at 304 E Lacey Rd., Forked River, NJ. This is a dinner you don’t want to miss, just ask anyone who attended last year what they thought of it. It’s going to be even better this year and best of all, we locked in our price back in February before inflation skyrocketed. Therefore, we are passing the savings onto you and will be keeping the ticket prices the same as last year. There will be a significant price increase next year though, so this is your last chance to enjoy a quality dinner like this at this price. Cocktail hour with hand passed Hors d’oeuvres will begin at 5 PM with bacon wrapped scallops, mini crab cakes, Hawaiian chicken sticks, and brie & raspberry puffs. A cheese and cracker platter along with bruschetta and toast will be place at each table. That will be followed by a sit-down dinner beginning with penne ala vodka sauce and a salad. Then you will have your choice of 4 Entrees, prime rib, chicken marsala, baked salmon w/Thai drizzle, or a broiled seafood combo. All entrees will come with potatoes and vegetables. Finally, dessert will consist of Tartufo & mini pastries. Coffee, tea and soda are also included and there will be a cash bar.
We need candidates for our Sportsperson of the Year and Youth Education Awards. Please submit nominations in writing consisting of approximately 250 words ASAP as we will be voting on this at our general membership meeting on September 26th.
Our guest speaker will be John Toth who will talk about his experience on 9/11/01. John was one of the fortunate people who made it out alive when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists.
As always, we will have gift and silent auctions along with a 50/50. We are requesting that our member clubs donate something for our raffle and/or our silent auction, or perhaps a bottle for our basket of cheer. To make a donation, please contact Paul Haertel at (973) 943-8201. Tickets are $90 per person or $800 for a table of ten. Mickey Sherri and John Toth will be handling the ticket sales as well as the seating arrangements this year. Call Mickey at (732) 421-6668 or John at (732) 656-0139.
