Two Neptune Residents honored with Richard Bormann Volunteer Service Award Herb Herbst and Roger Brown were honored at Neptune Riverfest with Dick Bormann Volunteer Service Awards for contributing to excellence in the delivery or planning of recreation services, park facility enhancement, and / or conservation of the environment in Neptune Township.  The awards were presented by Mayor Kevin McMillan and the Neptune Township Committee at the recent Neptune Riverfest celebration. The award is given annually in honor of Richard Bormann, who served for many years as both Recreation Director and Public Works Director for Neptune Township.  The Neptune Township Recreation Committee votes on submitted award nominations, and was pleased to acknowledge two volunteers who provide community service focusing on Neptune Soccer and the performing arts. Herb Herbst, is a full time volunteer at the Jersey Shore Arts Center, who was instrumental in saving the old Neptune High School from demotion, and providing a facility to provide local art programs for many people in the Neptune Township area.  Herb is a full-time volunteer who supervises 100 other volunteers at the facility, coordinates the art-related programs, helps in the fundraising to cover the facility expenses, and assists in the building renovation.  Roger Brown, has been involved with Neptune Soccer for several years-as a father, coach, volunteer, and board member.  Roger has been involved in many facets of the recreation soccer program, including registration, scheduling, secretarial & treasurer responsibilities, parent orientations, and website management during his tenure. He also serves as the liaison to the Recreation Committee.  The Neptune Recreation Committee, the Neptune Township Committee, and the residents and youth in the Neptune community thank and congratulate Herb Herbst and Roger Brown on their Volunteer Service Awards!

Neptune Multi-Sports Camp a Hit

Fifteen sports in one week!  Every sports lovers' dream!  Despite the dreary weather, fifteen active youngsters gathered at Sunshine Village Fields in Neptune last week for an exciting one week multi sports camp.  The five-day full day program was offered through Neptune Township Recreation in conjunction with US Sports Institute, for the fourth year.

Energized by super fun Coaches Laura and Sarah, the children were introduced to baseball, basketball, bocce, capture the flag, cricket, flag football, hand ball, hockey, lacrosse, kickball, newcombe, net ball, parachute games, pillo polo, scoop, skatch, soccer, softball, touch rugby, and ultimate Frisbee.  "Are we ready?" was responded to with shouts of, "We were born ready, Coach!"

Each day brought four new sports and the opportunity for the participants to cheer for their favorites.  Day five was celebrated with a recap of the most popular sports, and some crazy water time.  What adventures this week held for our young sportsters!

Be sure to look for this program again next summer!
