 October 2019 – Autumn Days

The October meeting kicked off with ticket sales for the 2019 Holiday Tour of Homes. Once again, the response was overwhelming with only a few coveted tickets remaining at the end of the meeting. The featured speaker was Rick Bushnell , President of Reclam the Bay. His topic “Silence of the Clams” discussed efforts to restore the clam population of Barnegat Bay in order to improve the bay’s overall health.
