To the Editor:
I want to thank everyone for the successful fundraiser we had on Sunday, Sept. 19 to fight ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and for local Beach Haven resident and retired Police Chief Butch McCaffrey.
Attendance was estimated at 300 to 400 people. I would also like to thank Barry’s Do Me a Flavor, Chick’s clothing store, Chicken or the Egg, Crust & Crumb, Engleside Inn, Murphy’s Market, Nardi’s Tavern, Rommel’s Liquors, Tucker’s Restaurant, Ship Bottom Brewery, Surflight Theatre and Uncle Will’s for their generous donations toward our raffles. Please support these establishments.
A very special thanks goes out to Allan Menegus, Tara Haberstroh and the staff at Buckalew’s Tavern. This event wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for them. Buckalew’s let us use their outside under-the-tent “Backyard,” and donated all the food for that day and some of the raffle gifts and all the bar proceeds.
To steal a line from the movie “Woodstock,” “It was a day of fun and music and nothing but, fun and music.” To all the musicians who that entertained that day, I thank you once again. Because of everyone that day we were able to raise $18,760.
Also thanks to Dave Jones, who helped me tremendously organize this event, Mary Buck for keeping us on schedule, “Camera Girl” Katie Murphy for all pictures and videos of the day, and Jill Scheimreif for videos.
Last but not least, to reporter Monique Demopoulos and The SandPaper for the article leading up to the event and their support with the follow-up article. If anyone would still like to donate, send donations to Joan Dancy & PALS Foundation, Riverview Medical Center, One Riverview Plaza, P.O. Box 8157, Red Bank, N.J. 07701 or joandancyandpals.org.
