McCracken New Administrator of Francis Asburg Manor

Neptune - The United Methodist Homes of New Jersey (The Homes) announces the appointment of James W. McCracken as Administrator of Francis Asbury Manor, its flagship senior residence located at 70 Stockton Avenue in Ocean Grove. In his new position, Mr. McCracken will be responsible for overseeing all day-to-day operations of the 167-bed independent and assisted living community. Origi­ nally constructed in 1947, Francis Asbury Manor was fully modernized in 1997 to meet today’s standards of comfort and convenience. “Jim’s management ability, and his experience with The Homes and our mission make him ideally suited as Administrator of what is one of our largest senior resi­ dences,” commented James C, Batten, President of the Homes. Prior to his new assignment, Mr. McCracken had been Corporate Manager of Program Development for The Homes. In that position, which he held since 1995, Mr. McCracken was responsible for planning and development activities relating to the opening of several new or reno­ vated Homes communities, including those located in Collingswood, Red Bank, Plainfield, and Ocean city. He also had oversight of the marketing effort and secured li­ censing approvals associated with Bristol Glen, a new 200- resident Continuing Care Retirement Community that The Homes is currently building in Newton, New Jersey. McCracken holds a B.A. degree in religion from Belmar Veterans Denison University in Granville, Ohio, and a Masters de­ Women Business gree in Health Care Administration (M.H.A.) from the Uni­ Donate Yearbook versity of New Hampshire.

Neptune Boys and young men have benefited greatly from this organization since 1917, when there were 300 youths, to the present time where there are now more than 10,000, all under the leadership of nearly 3,000 volunteer leaders - men and women. A professional staff runs the business of the council under the guidance of an executive board of community leaders. No other organization has ever had a greater impact on boys nor better embodied the ideals of this country or boasted of a more illustrious alumni roster.______prosecutor Collects Cell Phones The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, in conjunction with the Monmouth County Police Chiefs Association and the Monmouth County Superintendent of Schools, is conducting a “drive” to collect old cell phones which will then be reconditioned and programmed as “911 only” phones by Bell Atlantic. So far over 100 old cell phones have been collected for this program. These phones will eventually be redistributed to various school districts within your community. Representatives of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office will coordinate the collection of these old phones. Donated phones must be portable models and include batteries and chargers. Phones, batteries and chargers must be placeid in zip locked bags or boxes before drop off. Phones that are not so equipped cannot be reconditioned. Phones may be dropped off at your local police department or your local school. Sergeant Larry Willis of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office is coordinating this effort. If you need any additional information, you may contact him at (732) 431-6169 or you may contact Second Assistant Prosecutor Robert A. Honecker, Jr., at (732) 431-6505.

Dear Editor, The Fourth Annual Mayor’s Ball held at the Waterview Pavilion was once {auselt,Timand£ll&e Gallagher ^ again an enormous success. Residents and friends of Avon-by-The-Sea joined together in a black tie evening of fun and excitement that raised several thousand dollars that will help fund the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Borough of Avon on March 23,2000. The celebration of 100 years of pride in Avon-By-The- Sea will include a “hands around the town” in March, a 5K run and boardwalk craft show in May and a gala parade in early September. Every month of the year 2000 will include events and activities sponsored by the community’s churches, groups and organizations. On behalf of the Ball Committee, I wish to thank everyone that attended and those that supported the evening through donations of prizes and gifts. A special thank you to our town histonan, Sheila Watson, for her efforts with the marvelous display of memorabilia. A personal thank you to our business community for their support and the Comer Joint for the wonderful photos. All our citizens and friends are invited to attend all of the events of this great year of 2000 and our towns’ birthday. Jerry Hausett, Mayor AvofvBy-The-Sea
