Please join us on December 1st at 1pm. at the 4th Ave Lord House to erect and decorate the OBVTA Holiday Community Tree!
Come December 1st, or anytime during the month of December, to add your decorated shell to the tree. We will have a milk crate filled with shells that have predrilled holes and cords to hang, plus markers so you can decorate them. Please take a shell, decorate it anyway you like, then hang it on the tree. It will be a beautiful photo op for those that send picture Christmas Cards.
Thank you to all the volunteers that made this possible thus far.
We do still need help sometime in the middle of January to take the tree down. If you can help with that please email Joan Strathern at jpstrathern@gmail.com
See you there! Michele Bucci

==============================================================================================================
In late 2022 the OBVTA Board of Directors was presented with a request to investigate the feasibility of Ortley Beach succeeding from Toms River. The BOD took this request very seriously and, led by Board Secretary John Clarke, an intensive review of this possibility was started.
Over several months there were many discussions with current and past participants, attorneys and experts who have considered similar actions in nearby municipalities. Research was completed into the legal and financial resources that are required, many by law, to complete a succession.
John Clarke and the OBVTA board has now provided the Members of OBVTA with a clear and detailed response to the feasibility of succession. We appreciate your patience as we wanted to take the time to give the report a proper review.
At the link below you will find a brief summary of the findings as well as a complete detailed report.
