City Council will scrutinize the plan and is scheduled to take a vote on Feb. 9.
As is the case each year, Sea Isle City’s 2019 Veterans Day Ceremony took place on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, coinciding with the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I in 1918.
I am happy to report that this year’s ceremony was once again very well-attended by veterans and spectators alike. We are fortunate to have a very active VFW and a large number of veterans who call Sea Isle City “home,” and I am very thankful for all they have done (and continue to do) for our nation and this community.
I am also very thankful for the members of South Jersey Quilts of Valor, who presented handmade quilts to four local veterans during our gathering on November 11. The vets who received quilts were Francis Diamond, Joseph Burns, Matthew Manning and Thomas McCool, each of whom served our country honorably.
As I have said many times in the past, here in Sea Isle City we don’t just honor our nation’s veterans on Veterans Day, we honor them every day of the year. So, when you see a veteran, be sure to thank him or her for their service – even though November 11 has come and gone this year.
Looking ahead, the Chamber of Commerce will host Girls Weekend this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 22-24. During Girls Weekend, ladies will enjoy bargains at local retailers, special offers at eateries, discounts on salon and spa treatments, and other tempting deals at participating businesses.
There will also be wine tastings, complimentary refreshments served, discounts on overnight accommodations – and you can even ride the jitney on Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. For more information about Girls Weekend, go to www.seaislechamber.com
Even though it seems that Memorial Day was just a few weeks ago, Thanksgiving is now only seven days away. If you plan to be in town during Thanksgiving Weekend, be sure to attend the numerous events that are planned to officially kick off Sea Isle City’s 2019 Holiday Season.
