CRUISE FOLLOW-UP
A BIG THANK YOU to those who have sold so many raffle tickets and to those who have faithfully returned their sold raffle stubs and money.
Thanks to all our supporters for a very successful Luncheon Cruise aboard the River Queen on September 7th. We “sold-out” 10 days prior to the cruise and 102 people (about half were not Museum members) enjoyed the perfect weather, the lovely scenery and the pleasant company. Over $1500 was raised for the restoration of the Woolley House on the ticket sales, the Chinese Auction and the 50/50. The gifts for the auction were generously donated by businesses in our community: Attilio’s Pizza, Beauty Street, Brennan’s, Buy-Rite Liquors, Cheers to You, Cookies by Design, Dairy Queen, Foodtown, Great American Flower Mart, Grossman’s Deli, Ideal Lumber, Kelly’s Hallmark, Manhattan Steak House, Marquis Flowers, Middlebrook Spirits, Mike and Nellies, Mimi’s Gourmet, Monmouth Bottle Shop, Oakhurst Flowers, Oakhurst Pizza, Ocean Flower and Gifts, Parkhill’s, Sunset Farms, Sunset Florist and Wanamassa Liquors. Special thanks to: Paul Edelson and Ed DeNoble for running the 50/50 and congratulations to Ann Stiles the winner; Katy Dorsett for the handmade baby afghan and sweater; and Marge Edelson for the lap quilt; and to our Fund Raising Committee: Marge Edelson, Lesley Dorsett, Katy Dorsett, Lois Landis, Kay Zimmerer and Joal Leone.
