Several hundred children, parents, and grandparents stood in line on the Boardwalk waiting to be escorted onto the beach, and the children to their respective age groupings that were roped off on the beach.

Five Mile Beat > Chiarella Benefit helps community, honors Gia
Written by Joyce Gould Wednesday, March 23, 2011 04:19 pm
The 13th annual Gia Marcella Chiarella Foundation Benefit was held on March 13 at the Bolero Resort and once again Wally Lerro and his family were the hosts. Gia was a beautiful young girl who lost her life at 13, and every year her friends and family honor her memory with a beef and beer, which benefits the community as a whole. This year, as in years past, the money raised goes to local schools. Glenwood Ave School received $1,000, Crest Memorial and Wildwood High School, and Cape Trinity the same. Margaret Mace and Wildwood Catholic High School each received $2,000. The reason for the difference is that both of these schools sell more tickets for this event. Every year at Christmas time, especially 2010, 1,743 gifts were delivered to Cooper University Hospital in Camden to make Christmas special for the children in pediatrics.

At least three times a year, Wildwood’s Beth Judah Temple hold a “Lox, Bagel and More” breakfast in the social hall of the synagogue and almost 100 people showed up and ate and enjoyed some very good conversation.
We were greeted at the door by Marilyn Podell, Rhoda and Jules Gold and Rita Best, who took our tickets and escorted us to a table and to the buffet spread. The buffet consists of bagels, butter, cream cheese, lox, omelets made to order, potatoes, blintzes, fresh vegetables, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a huge bowl of fresh cut fruit, and hot coffee, tea and soft drinks.

Five Mile Beat > Firefighters have a good time

The past two weekends have been very busy for the men and women of the Wildwood Crest Fire Company Number 1. On Saturday Jan. 30 the men held their annual ladies night at the Grand Hotel in Cape May, and it was a grand night.
The party had already started when hubby and I arrived and the music was by “Bandstand.” They were great. No one sat down all evening. Joe Cortese was able to secure the group and the singer, Michelle Clifford, got around to all the tables including when she stopped to sing sitting in Bob Blanda’s lap next to Diane Ranalli.
We were seated with Karen and Jack Holland, Marilyn and Cliff Glenn, and Lisa and Darrick Kobierowski. Darrick is a new member of the fire company so he and the other newest member Bill Laffey Jr. are required to sing a song on the stage. They did a great job.
Five Mile Beat > Wine Tasting raises funds for school organization

Friday, Feb. 4, at the Grand Hotel in Cape May, the Wildwood Crest Parent Teacher Connection held its second annual wine and craft beer tasting. Just as it was last year, it was very well received by the more than 100 who attended. Bill Feraco from Canal’s Liquor store was on hand with wife Bonnie and made sure all the vendors were in place for the tasting.
A concept hard for me to grasp is sip-and-spit, which is what so many do. I would rather just drink the whole glass (they only give you about an ounce to taste).

Five Mile Beat > A cold, fun ride for a good cause
Written by Joyce Gould Wednesday, February 02, 2011 05:51 pm
It was titled freez-a-paloosa (meaning it’s cold outside, it’s January and this is something fun to do) and that was good enough for the 175 bike riders who participated in helping John Lynch do as he always does- help others. This year was the third year in a row that the “Le Tour de Woods” was held and it appears to be a rousing financial and fun success.
For $50, each rider went to six different watering holes and received a great looking hat to keep warm with. Last year the fund money was used for Macey Tilsner, who suffered from leukemia and this compassionate group raised more than $32,000. This year the money raised went to “Lunch with Lynch,” the “Kaitlin Anzelone Fund” and “Brendan Borek High Tides Memorial.” This year it made more than $12,000.
The morning started at the Bolero (the headquarters of “Le Tour) for some fun and directions. Macey Tilsner, the charming young girl from last year, was made the grand marshal.
Spencer Smith, a police officer from Wildwood, was the “Tour Leader.”

Five mile beat > A family celebrates graduation, milestones

A recent party for Heather Stocker celebrated her graduation from Stockton College with a degree in Criminal Justice. Some may say the party was really for Gary and Sharon Stocker to celebrate Heather’s time attending college. Either way you look at it, now that she is finished it was time to party.
The party was held at the Bayview and good friends and family were there including Jack Stocker, the Stocker patriarch. Jack was pleased to be there especially since his great-grandson Nathan Otto Stocker came and brought his parents Tom and Melissa as well as his grandparents Patty and Tom.
