remember that these are volunteers. Our first aid squad and our fire department are volunteers. So, I do thank them because there is always an uptick in the summer and and they are volunteers and they do the best they can, which is which is awesome. Thank you. >> Mr. McCaffrey.
>> Yes, I just want to the VFW 3729 is having a food tournament on July 18th and that's their fundraiser for the year. And other than that, just be careful out on the roads, watch for bicycles and
crazy drivers. >> [laughter] >> Thank you. Um I would also like to thank our police department, public works, fire, first aid. There was a lot going on this past weekend, 4th of July. Um ton of people in town. Every every year I say it, but I don't think there I've ever seen as many people. And the sirens
were constantly going off. And we owe a real debt of gratitude to these people for keeping the town safe and moving. Um I also want to remind you that Saturday from 6:00 to 9:00 at the Little Egg Harbor Yacht Club is the Bay Bash. And this is being held by the Mordecai Island Land Trust to help uh increase
their funds to preserve Mordecai Island. And I think everybody here is familiar with it. In case you're not, it is a very, very important barrier island that sits right off the south end of Beach Haven and protects the whole south end of town from a storm surge. And these people have been working on it for quite
a while now to build it up to keep the wildlife going out there. So, it's a very worthwhile cause. You can buy tickets online or you can buy them at the door. And the last thing I would like to do is I want to publicly thank two gentlemen, Mr. Bob Jacobson and Mr. Clifford Weimes, for their intelligent,
well-researched, and very well-written letters to all of the powers that be about the best. We appreciate their persistence, and we want everyone to know that we haven't given up when it comes to the best, and these gentlemen and their efforts are greatly appreciated.
On that note, is there a motion to adjourn? >> I'll make the motion. >> Thanks, Mike. All right, meeting adjourned. >> Second. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
