A Time To Give

DCummins — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 04:30:34 +0000

Former FSOS President Ray Costello, recovering from knee surgery, was not at the FSOS hall at 7:30am on the Saturday when we normally prepare the baskets. Nope, crutches and all he could be found with his daughter picking up 48 turkeys at Old Bridge Shoprite. That's Ray Costello. Take a look at the photos of a day filled with volunteers and laughter as the friends and family of the FSOS give back to the community... and all under the watchful eyes of Ray Costello.

Boots and Spurs Rule the Night

DCummins — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:40:36 +0000

Some time ago Mike Sullivan came up with an idea. He thought it might be fun to have a country night at the club. He proposed it, planned it and got the support of the Softball Team to help run it. When the first date he chose didn't pan out he didn't give up... he looked for a better date... and by all accounts he found it. The sold out night was a lot of fun for all who attended.

Congrats to Mike Sullivan and the Softball Team for adding a new night to the social calendar. Check out photos courtesy of Mike

Family Picnic Rescheduled

DCummins — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:46:21 +0000

We have a lot of rain coming in over the next few days and though we know it's good for the grass it puts a damper on outdoor activities for this weekend. So rather than make you sit in puddles on the grass we thought it best to postpone.

Fun and Game have been rescheduled for Saturday, Oct 1.

See You Then.

The Story behind the Newsletter Cover

DCummins — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 11:22:59 +0000

This month's newsletter is dedicated to the memory of Chuck Costello. The cover was designed by Matt Lee. The picture, taken while serving in the Navy, was provided by his wife Mary. The words are his. They were among the papers Mary found in his desk after 9/11 and I thank her for sharing them with us.

We’ve had a lot of fun at the club so far, this year. For photographic evidence of some of this fun check out the 2011 photo gallery on the FSOS Diary. We’ve uploaded boat loads of photos. We’ve probably even caught you in the act having some of this fun. Enjoy!

It was VooDoo

DCummins — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 02:36:50 +0000

The combination of Mardi Gras and Voo Dudes has proven to be a winning one since it's inception. It was a cool night for just a little while but once the music started it became a steamy night in New Orleans and the Voo Dudes they owned it. And by God there was dancing. Not always pretty it was always fun. While the Voo Dudes ruled the stage. Chef DeMaio and his Crabby Daddys ruled the kitchen. Cajun Tom McGrath's Jamayala was once again a hit for it's taste and a backbreaker for the cast iron saucepan it was prepared in. Oh and jello shots... wouldn't be Mardi Gras with the jello shots.
It takes a lot of work by what's typically a few folks to put on these events. From advertising to booking the band, purchasing supplies, food prep, ordering and hanging decorations, tickets, finances, raffles, prizes and of course someone has to come up with balloons, spoons and 15 feet of string. If you weren't there you'll have to use your imagination. Not to mention the work that remains after everyone has gone home and the air has fizzled out of the last of those balloons. There's the cleanup, tables and chairs to stack, pots and trays to wash, photos to process and someone has to finish off the jello shots. So when the night turns out to be as good as this one was, well, that just makes it all worth while. To all those who participate behind the scenes --- you earned your beads tonight. To all those who came and had a great night - Thank You Too.
