This Saturday we have Act #2- The Moroccan Sheepherders, another very popular area band.  Please join us- 5:00PM -7:00PM.  Grab a dinner box at one of our fab restaurants!

Last Friday and Saturday The Arts Council put on their annual Shakespeare performance.  This year King Lear was performed by a talented group of actors.  Julia Rand and Jackie Schneider led a moving adaptation of this compelling play.  We had two great audiences that thoroughly enjoyed the production. The Arts Council asks for donations to the Alzheimer’s Foundation in honor of the production. 

I have heard many compliments on BOTH events.  I think we are becoming a destination!  Thanks to all that put these events together- too many to mention!

Infrastructure project:  The Biase Center roof replacement

I’ll update you on a key Infrastructure project we are focused on right now. 

The Carmen A. Biase Center at our municipal complex has had a roof leak for some time.  We brought in an architect and the recommendation was for total replacement.   We started work a week ago.  The roof will be completely replaced.  Following that, a mold remediation effort for the building interior will take place.  This was necessary and long overdue! 

We will then move the Community Development (Zoning/ Code, etc.) and Meals on Wheels back into the building; and groups like the Seniors, Arts Council, and committees/ commissions will have access to the facility.

Fletcher Lake.  Our partners, Neptune Township (specifically Ocean Grove) started a project to repair the northeast bulkhead portion of Fletcher Lake.  Work began 3 weeks ago with good progress.  This is a key project in terms of the safety and stability of the bulkhead and contributes to our continued improvements to Fletcher Lake.  Thank you to the Neptune and the Fletcher Lake Team for advocating for this important project!

This should complement the restaurant experience in Bradley Beach.

Restaurants have become a defining characteristic of our community.

A few other quick topics to highlight:

Those residents that had grass repaired by the borough due to the sewer, curb, and street corner repairs. P L E A S E water the areas so that they get established- THANKS!

The Mayors Wellness Campaign has an announcement: We are enhancing our Mayors Wellness Walks with a "WALK and TALK' component and reminding folks to register using link or code. Here is the link: - http://forms.gle/fcUaCBSQCLtv7EqL7

Our first “talk topic” is Beach Safety- so important to our residents and visitors. Two great speakers- JOIN US!!!!  Sunday, July 30th- 9:00AM at the 5th Ave Gazebo!

Our Beach is one of our key assets in which we are the stewards. There is a mutual dependency with our Tourism in Bradley Beach and our beach. Our Lifeguards, First Aid, and Police all do a great job in managing the beach. There has to be, however, a respect for the power and sometimes danger of the Atlantic Ocean. I urge everyone to promote water safety. Please swim when lifeguards are on duty!

 Our LIBRARY is rock’in!!

Summer Reading is in full swing through August 7th to win prizes. Details on the library’s website.  

Did you know the library has two museum pass programs? These programs allow library card holders a certain number of passes to attend a museum for free. Currently, the library has passes to the Guggenheim Museum in NYC and the Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park. Contact the library or visit the library’s website to find out more. The passes are generously provided by the Friends of the Bradley Beach Library.

We will continue to focus on Service and Progress as a Municipal Team.

That’s all for now!

We have a lot to be thankful for here in Bradley Beach, and much to celebrate.  

Thank you- and see you around town!

Mayor Larry Fox
