Asbury Park Fishing Club distributes donations to local nonprofits; Chamber launches business film challenge
Summary
The Asbury Park Fishing Club presented checks to local nonprofits including Little League, Boys & Girls Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters; the Chamber of Commerce and Arts Council announced a 30–90 second business film challenge for local businesses and nonprofits, due at the end of March.
The council recognized the Asbury Park Fishing Club on Tuesday and members presented donated checks to several local nonprofits, and the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce announced a new short-film promotion for local businesses.
Mayor Moore and club president Joey Paladino presented checks to beneficiaries that the club supports, including Asbury Park Little League, the Asbury Park Boys & Girls Club, Rodeo for Recreation, Asbury Boardwalk Cat Rescue and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Monmouth County. Council members and recipients thanked the club for the donations and the event drew applause from those attending.
Separately, Matthew Whelan, executive director of the Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce, described a new "AP in 3" business film challenge run with the Asbury Park Arts Council to mark the fifth anniversary of the AP in 3 Film Challenge. Businesses and nonprofits may enter a 30-to-90-second social-media video that must be shot on-site, show the participant's logo and include a required line of dialogue; prizes include Chamber membership and advertising. Entries are due by the end of March.
The recognitions and the business challenge were presented during the meeting's scheduled community and public-participation items; no formal council action was required for the donations or Chamber initiative.
