Greetings Bradley Beach-
Election day was November 8th. Congratulations to Meredith DeMarco, John Weber, and Jane DeNoble for their Council victories. I understand there is a recount between Al Gubitosi and Deb Bruynell that hopefully will be completed shortly. The results were quite close for a number of the candidates. On the question of the 319 LaReine Avenue Church, a 77:23% margin not to renovate the church. This result was similar to the survey done in the summer (75:25%) that included all residents, not just voters. We are working on next steps and will cover this at our December 13th Council meeting.
We were able to hold the annual bonfire on Saturday, November 25th, after a 2-year hiatus. The tradition returns! The weather was perfect and the participants seemed to enjoy the evening. Thanks to Public Works, our Fire Marshall, and the Police and Fire Departments for their support of this community event!
Our Tree Lighting and the festivities around it were postponed on November 26th due to inclement weather and were rescheduled to December 3rd, in concert with the Holiday Market in Riley Park. Unfortunately, the weather isn't cooperating and we have to cancel the event. We do have a Menorah lighting event on December 18th at Riley Park; and we will try to add a bit to this event- stay tuned!
Beach Badges are on sale at a discount rate through the end of December. A lesser discount is in place for January through March. Check the website for details.
Last month there was a press conference/ award and recognition ceremony at the Fire House. The Department generously gave back proceeds raised from their annual 5k
run. Residents, our new School Superintendent, Michael Heidelberg, the 8 th grade class and teachers, along with Senator Vin Gopal attended with a generous contribution to
the Fire and EMS team!
