Registration is now open at <a href="https://www.gotcc.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.gotcc.org</a>.

"This event is about more than a day on the golf course," said Regina Longo, Executive Director of the Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce. "It's an opportunity for our business community to come together, build relationships, and give back to the police officers and firefighters who dedicate themselves to protecting our neighborhoods. We are proud to continue this tradition of supporting our local heroes."
The day begins with registration and lunch at 12:00 p.m., followed by a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start on one of the Jersey Shore's premier private golf courses. Golfers will enjoy a full afternoon on the course before gathering for a 6:00 p.m. cocktail reception and buffet dinner.
Participants will compete for exciting prizes, including a Hole-in-One Contest, Closest-to-the-Pin, Longest Drive, a $5,000 Putting Challenge, and additional contests throughout the day.
The Chamber is proud to recognize VCS HR, the official payroll provider of the Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce, as the event's Presenting Sponsor. GOTCC also gratefully acknowledges the support of its Corporate Sponsors, Family First, Manasquan Bank, and Seaview Orthopaedic, whose generosity helps make this annual fundraiser possible.The registration fee is $325 per golfer, which includes lunch, golf, contests, cocktail reception and buffet dinner. Special discounted rates are available for veterans, active-duty military personnel and first responders. Guests who do not wish to golf are welcome to attend the evening cocktail reception and buffet dinner for $95 per person.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses wishing to gain visibility while supporting a meaningful community cause. Registration and sponsorship information can be found at <a href="https://www.gotcc.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.gotcc.org</a>.

Join us for an upcoming author event! THE MIDLIFE PLOT TWIST: How To Reboot Your Life Without Burning It Down Even If You Really Want To.Join us for a presentation and signing with co-authors Lindsay Goldwert and Gabrielle Moss!


The $5 ticket guarantees you a seat and you will receive a $5 coupon to use at the time of the event. The $18.99 ticket guarantees you a seat and you will receive a copy of THE MIDLIFE PLOT TWIST.

Learn about the book:
It’s not a midlife crisis—it’s a midlife plot twist! Packed with honest, insightful, and deeply relatable advice for anyone who has reached that middle point of life, this humorous and practical guide rejects the outdated cliché of the midlife crisis, instead offering a fresh, empowering vision for any woman in her 40s or 50s looking for reinvention, courage, and clarity.Welcome to midlife—where your body is totally unpredictable, your career is ever-evolving, and your search history now includes, “Can I pull off bangs at 45?” This is not another menopause book; this is also not a book about how to “manifest,” “visualize,” or “self-actualize” your way into a better life. This book is for those of us who burst into our 20s with only a Cosmopolitan magazine education about how to be a grown-up and have now reached that middle stage of life and are wondering what’s next. The Midlife Plot Twist is for women who are truly ready to figure out what they want that second chapter of their life to look like. This is a smart, funny guidebook for women trying to navigate every part of their life with humor, honesty, and heart. From forgotten passwords to rediscovering passions, it’s a laugh-out-loud reminder that the middle years aren’t something to survive—they’re something to celebrate. Using expert advice, exercises, and analysis to help readers figure out how they landed where they are now, authors and editors Lindsay Goldwert and Gabrielle Moss offer practical information and guidance about values and goals as it pertains to love and sex, money and career, and friends and family. Part pep talk, part permission slip, and 100 percent relatable, readers will laugh, nod, and feel seen. Because if midlife has taught us anything, it’s that the only way forward is with grace—and a great sense of humor.

Learn about the authors:
Lindsay Goldwert has worked as an editorial director, writer and podcaster, and is the author of Bow Down: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Be a Boss in Life, Love and Work, a Glamour Magazine Best Book. She’s written about everything from relationships to midlife adventures, personal finance to power dynamics, for publications like the New York Times, New York Magazine, Refinery29, Fast Company, Marketwatch, and many others. As part of her own mid-life plot twist, she will soon be certified as a sex educator and coach through the Sexual Health Alliance. Gabrielle Moss is the author of Paperback Crush: The Totally Radical History of '80s and '90s Teen Fiction. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, GQ, Slate, the Daily Beast, RogerEbert.com and Refinery29. She has appeared on NPR, the CBC, and Canadian national morning TV show The Social, and was a talking head in the 2023 documentary Judy Blume Forever.

Wonder Bar

<h1> </h1>
Ahoy!Established 2022 in New York City, the Yacht Lobsters sail the waves of the butteriest Soft Rock of the 70's and early 80's. &nbsp;Their big sound recreates - and at times reimagines - the studio mastery of retro-rock icons like Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Hall &amp; Oates, Toto, etc.&nbsp;
​
It's the breezy Yacht Rock cool vibe you know and love, fused with stellar vocals, a full horn section and unique elements of NOLA funk, classic rock and jazz improvisation to keep things bouncy, set your mood to festive and ensure your boat's a-rockin'. &nbsp;There's even a tasteful smattering of original music that sounds like it stepped right out of 1978.
Founded by the visionary team behind Brother Joscephus and the Love Revolution, the Lobster roster features NYC's finest professional musicians who have played together for decades.
Grab your captain's hat, make that Pina Colada a double and climb aboard!
