Even though Labor Day has passed, we still have a lot to look forward to here in Sea Isle City. In addition to a variety of festivals, parades, and other popular attractions that are coming your way this fall, we will also take time to stop and reflect during two special ceremonies in September, which I hope you can attend...
The first is our annual Patriot Day Ceremony at 9:00 AM on September 11. Ever since terrorists attacked our nation in 2001, each year we have honored those who were lost in New York City, southwestern Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon – and we also use the occasion to remind ourselves of the importance of staying vigilant, so we never fall victim to terrorist acts again. With that in mind, I hope you can join us at Veterans Park on September 11 for our annual 9-11 gathering.

There has not been a City Council meeting since the August 24 E-Newsletter, so there is not any new Council business to report at this time. However, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was in Sea Isle City during the summer of 2023, including our visitors, second homeowners, year-round residents, and business owners. It was a great summer season, with wonderful weather, and we were very happy to see so many people enjoying themselves!
Our next City Council meeting will take place at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, September 12, on the third floor of City Hall – and we hope to see you there!
Best regards from the members of City Council,
Council President J.B. Feeley (jbfeeley@seaislecitynj.us)
Frank Edwardi (fedwardijr@seaislecitynj.us)
Jack Gibson (jgibson@seaislecitynj.us)

RUN FOR THE FALLEN
Saying "Thank You" To Those
Who Made The Ultimate Sacrifice
The 2023 New Jersey Run for the Fallen will pass through Sea Isle City on Thursday, September 21. The active-duty military members who run in this annual event will enter Sea Isle via the Townsends Inlet Bridge (from Avalon) at approximately 2:55 PM and then travel north along Landis Avenue toward Strathmere. While passing through our community, the runners will make six (6) brief stops at “Hero Markers,” where they will pay tribute to New Jersey residents who died while serving in our nation’s military. Please take a few moments on September 21 to cheer-on the runners as they pass – and to show your support for the Gold Star Families who are often waiting at each Hero Marker.
