From Mayor Leonard Desiderio...
I hope you were in Sea Isle City over Thanksgiving weekend and were able to attend our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Excursion Park – which is my pleasure to host each year. Our 2019 Tree Lighting was our largest to date, and it was highlighted by singing elves, photos with famous Ice Princesses, and other holiday enjoyment. My thanks go to everyone who helped make our Tree Lighting Ceremony a success, including the young men from Boy Scout Troop 76, who manned a snack concession stand that satisfied many appetites that night, and the members of the Sea Isle City Taxpayers Association, who distributed complimentary chocolate chip cookies and cocoa that warmed everyone’s spirits. –Thank you all!
