Wednesday evening, the Republican Women of Cape May County met at La Fontana Coast. The highlight of the meeting was when Mayor Len Desiderio presented Heather Baldini with the prestigious Gerard A. Desiderio, Sr. Award for "Sea Isle City Republican of the year" 2017.
Upon receiving it, Baldini said that she was truly honored. "The concept of the award is that Gerard was an exemplary Republican. I met Gerard in 1987 and he is the reason that I joined the organization. His enthusiasm and dedication to the party inspired me to get involved."
