Members of AARP Chapter 710 of Sea Isle City gathered for their annual St. Patrick’s Day luncheon on Thursday.

This year’s “Best Dressed Irish” winners included Joan Boyle, of Sea Isle, who won Best Dressed Lady. Her large green hat and other accessories helped her stand out in the crowd.

Joe Bellucci, of Ocean View, won Best Dressed Gentleman. He wore an Irish-inspired Viking helmet, a leprechaun’s beard and a flashing shamrock necklace.

Patricia and Bud Smith, of Marmora, won Best Dressed Couple. They wore a variety of eye-catching accessories, including a green plaid hat that twinkled with green lights on Bud and a shamrock head band on Patricia.
