We are hoping that a lot of the beaches that you fish will be fishable. There has been a tremendous interest of members volunteering their weekends at Island Beach, hauling junk and trash off the beach. Putting up snow fence and hauling Christmas trees to help rebuild the dunes, so that the beaches can be open to the public for fishing. Check the web-site to see all we have been doing.

    The Assn. received a letter of thanks from the NJDEP’s Richard Boornazian Asst. Commissioner, for all the hard work that we have done at the park rebuilding the damage dunes caused by Super Storm Sandy. They have nominated the New Jersey Beach Buggy Assn. for the White House Champions of Change Award and hope that we will be recognized nationally.

    The Banquet was a sellout. I would like to thank the committee for all their hard work and time to make this a great event. Everyone had a fantastic time and cannot wait for next year, which will be our 60th Anniversary.

    The Sandy relief committee has been formed and they will be working on distributing the funds to the members that are in need from the storm. We thank all who have contributed to the storm relief fund.

    Corresponding Secretary Paul Novello has been working on a power point presentation. This will enable us to reach out to organizations and people to better understand what the New Jersey Beach Buggy Assn. is all about.

    Thanks, for all the support from the members and nonmembers for everything that we have been doing for the past three months.
