Important Details for FPS Family Beach Day
It’s almost time for our Family Beach Day! Please meet us on Wednesday at 10 AM for a light breakfast of baked goods and fresh fruit at Marci’s home located at 4711 Central Avenue, Sea Isle City, NJ 08243 (She is the corner house. Her driveway is located on Central Ave and her front door is on 48th Street).
You may park in Cape May County Library-Sea Isle Branch, 4800 Central Avenue. The outer ring is public parking. Marci’s house is catty-corner to the library. There is additional parking lot by 45th and 46th and central.
If you can no longer attend, please email carol@takeabreakfromcancer.org and let us know. Generous vendors are donating the food, and we want to ensure our headcount is accurate in appreciation of their kindness.
If you need to get in touch with us on the day of the event, please call or text Carol at 267-446-1330. If the weather looks bad, please check your email Tuesday evening, as we will send out an email by 8:00 PM letting you know the event is cancelled for Wednesday.
Our group is planning to set up for the day at 11 AM between 46th and 47th street on the beach, just in case you are running late and need to meet us at the beach.
Reminder: We will provide lunch for the group including pizza, veggies & dip and fresh fruit. If you or your guests diet is restrictive, we do recommend packing your own lunch and bringing it in a cooler bag to stay chilled.
Bring your beach chair/blankets, beach umbrellas, towels, sand toys, water toys, sunscreen, sun protection, bathing suits and anything else you might need to make the day fun for you. Access to the beach is free in SICNJ on Wednesdays, so beach tags are not necessary.
Looking forward to seeing you at the beach on Wednesday!
