The 2015 Winter Social was held Saturday, March 7 at the Lobster Loft in Sea Isle City. We had the whole upstairs room and bar and it was a wonderful evening.
Rosemarie and Donna checked registrations and provided door prize tickets and Liz and Jan sold 50-50 tickets.
Drinks!
Bottled beer and wine were included in the ticket price.
Dinner!
Then it was time to hit the buffet.

Awards time!
President Mike Olley presented Tom Starr with a plaque in honor of Debbe Starr’s many years of dedication and hard work for the SFEC.
.
Rob Coffey was presented with a plaque for his service as President of the Club.

Mike presented a donation to the Strathmere Volunteer Fire Company to Chief Bruce Riordan.

Striper Tournament!
Third place went to Gary Riordan, Sr. (not present) with a catch of 22 pounds.
.
Mike then announced Ed Andress as the second place winner, with a catch of 37 pounds.
.
The winner of the 2014 Striper Tournament was (again) Eric Hitchner, with a catch of 42 pounds.
.
Members Only Mahi / Tuna Tournament:
We neglected to announce and award Ron Penska with first place plaques for his double wins in the “Members Only” Mahi / Tuna Tournament.
Ron landed a 16.75 lb mahi and a 36 lb yellowfin tuna.
Sorry for the oversight, Ron!

The SFEC had named Jessica Weaver as Grand Marshall of the 2014 Nightmare in Strathmere Boat Parade, but somehow her husband got all the glory!
Amends were made as VP Sallie Callahan recognized Jessica and presented her with her favorite adult beverage!
.
We had wonderful service all night, provided by our bar and wait staff!
.
We also were favored with a great job by our DJ, who got many folks up on the floor to dance!
.
Dance Time!
.
Finally, the Club and all attendees thank the three co-conspirators who put it all together:
Sallie, Liz and Rosemarie.
Thanks!
