SAVE A TRIP TO COMCAST IN RIO GRANDE by visiting their temporary customer service trailer in Avalon!  The trailer has arrived in the parking lot adjacent to Avalon Community Hall, and will be open about May 20th, through June 18th, Monday through Saturday, from 9am to 7pm.  This is a one-time opportunity to take advantage of the Comcast trailer and save a round trip to Comcast’s new, permanent location in Rio Grande!

AVALON’S 8th STREET TENNIS COURTS will soon be resurfaced and repaired.  The courts will be powerwashed, prepared, resurfaced, and painted in a U.S. Open blue & green color scheme.  When work begins, the courts will close for about a week when a favorable weather window arrives, but no work will occur during the Memorial Day weekend.  When the 8th Street courts are not available, those with reservations will be accommodated at the 39th Street courts.

THE OTHER JERSEY SHORE: A National Geographic Wild episode titled “The Other Jersey Shore” and featuring Delaware Bay and horseshoe crabs will air Friday, May 20th at 10:30pm Eastern on Comcast channel 108.  The Wetlands Institute’s Horseshoe Crab Conservation Program is featured in the episode.  Click here to watch the trailer:  http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/united-states-of-animals/episodes/the-other-jersey-shore/

SEVEN MILE RESTAURANT WEEK returns June 6th-12th.  The annual favorite will feature dining specials from dozens of local restaurants.  Stay tuned for more details!

“CLICK IT OR TICKET!”  Not only is wearing a seatbelt a good idea, it may save you a ticket in Avalon or Stone Harbor during the Seatbelt Mobilization campaign which will take place from May 23rd to June 5th.  Avalon, Stone Harbor, and many other towns will participate in the campaign, which seeks to raise the seatbelt usage rate in New Jersey from its current level of 91.36%.
