Surfrider
Dear Surfrider Supporter,
October is approaching fast and I want to highlight some upcoming events and campaign successes.
Join us at our Chapter meeting on October 1st as we welcome Paul Herzog, Surfrider National’s Ocean Friendly Garden guru. We will be discussing the value of Ocean Friendly Gardens as well as how to build one on your property. Directly following the meeting we will be headed out on the beach to take part in Surfrider’s Raptoberfest by cleaning up One Foot at a Time.
I am happy to report that we have made significant progress in our campaign to Save Asbury Park’s north end beach from development. Just last week the Asbury Park City Council sent a letter to the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders asking them to consider purchasing the Bradley Cove lot as dedicated parkland. In that same week Asbury’s Waterfront Redevelopment Plan Advisory Committee recommended the Townhomes at Bradley Cove be removed and that land be dedicated to open space and recreation. Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming event in Asbury Park in late October.
On October 21st the legendary Dick Dale will perform at Joey Harrison’s Surf Club with Sonny Kenn and Rich Uncle Skeleton. A donation from event proceeds will go towards the Jersey Shore Chapter of Surfrider Foundation. Come join us for this rare treat to see Dick Dale, the king of surf guitar, perform at the Jersey Shore while supporting the Jersey Shore Chapter.
Finally, on October 27th the Jersey Shore Chapter will be holding a Rain Barrel Training in Brielle from 6 – 8 pm. Come learn about rain barrels, build one and bring it home to install. Click here to register.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
