Press release from Stephy’s Place
Stephy’s Place, a Red Bank-based, non-profit organization that offers free support groups for people who are coping with issues of grief and loss, held its ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, March 9. Stephy’s Place Director Sheila Martello was joined for the special occasion by U.S. Congressman Chris Smith, State Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling, Monmouth County Freeholder John Curley, and Red Bank Councilwoman Linda Schwabenauer.

Hurricane-ravaged Sea Bright got a breath of life Saturday morning, when the scarcely occupied downtown area played host to hundreds of runners and onlookers taking part in the Keith D. Mcheffey Memorial Fun Run.
Ocean Avenue served as the track, while WoodyÂ’s Ocean Grille sponsored an expansive food and beer tent to keep the celebration going long after even the slowest runner crossed the finish line.
It was all in an effort to pick up the pieces in the rebuilding town – and to celebrate one man’s cherished but tragically short life.
OK, we’re a day late and making it just under the wire, but here’s this week’s Where Have I Seen This.

Do you know where our photo – snapped on Monday before the storm hit – was taken? Send us an email, please.
