Hero 5k run will take place at 9:30am. Hero ceremonies are at 10:30am. The walk is a 5k walk along the Ocean City boardwalk. We raise awareness of the importance of sober designated drivers.

We need ~200 volunteers to help us plant beach grass in the park.

Planting beachgrass helps to build the dunes which in turn, creates habitat, increases coastal resiliency to storms, and is a wonderful community building event.

Come down to Asbury Park and join us for a wonderful food festival inside Asbury Park’s very own Convention Hall. Amazing food and fancy drinks will be provided. Please join us and partake in this wonderful winter snow ball party down by the shore!

The event showcases the tremendous talent OceanMHS has discovered from individuals suffering with mental illness. This is an opportunity to eliminate barriers and misconceptions surrounding mental health, encourage positive conversations to reduce stigma, and shed light on the changing climate of mental health treatment in NJ. The event will contain paintings and drawings, mixed media, and several forms of creative expression provided by children and adults seeking services at OceanMHS.

Instructor, Gayle Stahlhuth, artistic director of East Lynne Theater Company, uses writing and simple acting exercises to trigger the writer’s imagination. The workshop is geared for those who have written plays, as well as those who have always wanted to try their hand at writing a play. Participants are encouraged to create short plays during the workshop.

Aside from performing, directing, and producing, Stahlhuth is also a produced playwright, who has received writing commissions from The Smithsonian Institution, Theatreworks/USA and The Illinois and Missouri Humanities Councils, and grants from The New Jersey Humanities Council.  Her plays have been performed at such places as the NYC International Fringe Festival, The Samuel French One-Act Festival, Manhattan Theatre Club, Arvada Center in Denver, the Pennsylvania Stage Company, the Phoenix Theater in Indianapolis, and the Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company, located in Cape May. She has taught playwriting to a variety of ages throughout the country at theaters, universities, libraries, public schools, and writing conferences. For several years, Gayle was a popular workshop leader at the now-disbanded North Wildwood Beach Writer’s Conference.

The fee is only $10 and may be paid at the door.  This fee is unusually low due to the financial support the New Jersey Theatre Alliance’s “Stages Festival.” Advance registration appreciated and may be made by calling 609-884-5898 or e-mail eastlynneco@aol.com.

After last year’s successful inaugural event — featuring heavy-hitters such as Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, Former Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, Freeholder Ashley Bennett, Comedian Julia Scotti, and more — Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn, Councilwoman Yvonne Clayton, Comedian/Politico Jess Alaimo, and AP Women’s March founder Dani Fiore are keeping the conversation going with the event which again promises to be both both educational and entertaining. The non-partisan event aims to look at issues that affect women across party lines in an engaging and realistic manner. The APWC will not only leave audience members inspired but also with direction on how to actually bring forth change. Last year, with over a thousand women in attendance at the Paramount theatre, the Convention addressed issues such as: Equal Pay, Women’s Healthcare, and Sexual Violence. This year the event will be at the Stone Pony and will tackle the issues of: Cannabis and Wellness, Being A Trans Ally (with Garden State Equality), and Agreeing To Disagree.

APWC co-founder Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn adds, “We are once again thrilled to host an event which brings together women of different ethnicities, political affiliations, and ages to ensure all our voices are being heard on issues that matter to us all. Mark your calendar for a fun, informative event on March 30th.”

Original APWC co-founder and Councilwoman Yvonne Clayton adds, “We are very excited about the opportunity to bring APWC to the Stone Pony this year. The APWC was not just a one-time event. Every year we will be doing something new, different, and exciting. We know that both women and men will come out and support us.”
