Chris and Gerald Donohue (holding plaque) were among seven home owners who recently received 2016 Beautification Awards from the Sea Isle City Environmental Commission. They are shown during the award ceremony on September 18 with Beautification Award organizer Dudley McGinty. “There was a very nice group of entries in this year’s competition – well over thirty properties were submitted for our consideration,” said Beautification Award organizer Dudley McGinty. “Traditionally, we give awards to properties that have not received one in the past, but this year we decided to honor a family that had received a prior Beautification Award, because their home looks as good today as it did over a decade ago.” “Our thanks go to all of the property owners in Sea Isle City who help beautify our town,” added Mr. McGinty.  I’d also like to thank the four Beautification Award committee members, who did the judging and make this annual event a reality.” The Anderson home, located at 208 – 46th Street, was among seven local properties that received 2016 Beautification Awards from the Sea Isle City Environmental Commission on September 18.
