AP Listserve Members:
I am writing to share the following information with you.
Councilman Keady Distribution List
In order to keep you informed about important community issues, I have
created an email distribution list. This is not a listserve. You will not be
able to post discussion items. It is solely a means for us to communicate
with
each other on a one-on-one basis. To sign up on this distribution list,
please send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will add you to the
list.
Summer Jobs
We are still in the process of re-organizing the “Community Board” to
address the summer jobs initiative. As we continue with this effort, I am
actively seeking local businesses, both in Asbury and the surrounding areas,
that
are interested in hiring part-time workers for this summer. I have been
pleasantly surprised with the local merchants that I have approached thus far
about
hiring local youth and would like to continue this momentum with your help.
Asbury Park Soccer Club
We are still in need of volunteers and donations for this summer’s soccer
program. If you would like to volunteer, please email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] If you would like to make a donation to the program, you
can
make your check payable to “City of Asbury Park Recreation Trust” and
please
put “Soccer Program” on the memo line. Then mail your check to:
Councilman-elect, Jim Keady

Asbury Park, NJ 07712
Also, if you belong to a Church, Temple, Mosque, or community group in town,
please email me so that I can get you a promotional poster and sign-up
materials for kids who attend your services.
4th of July Parade Fundraiser
There will be a fundraiser for this year’s 4th of July Parade this Thursday
at 6:30pm at Jimmy’s Restaurant on Asbury Avenue. Tickets are $35. For
more
information, please contact Kiki Tomek at (732) 502-5721.
Serving the Community
As I continue my preparations to take office on July 1st I have duly noted
that we are going to need many people to get involved in a range of projects
to help make our city great again. If you have a particular interest and
would like to serve the community, please send me an email at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and outline how you would like to get involved.
Sunday’s Downtown Bike Race
A number of people have made comments about this past Sunday’s bike race in
the downtown. I believe that the concerns raised have their roots in a
problem that goes beyond this particular event – poor communication in City
Hall.
I do not hold the event organizers accountable for the fact that they were
given permission to hold the race downtown and that the necessary street
closings conflicted with another event planned by some of the downtown
merchants,
as well as the bingo event at the VFW. I will however make it a priority to
find out who gave permission for this and how the oversight, which led to the
conflict, occurred. I do want to go on record that I believe that the bike
race was a good event and I think the downtown is an appropriate venue for it
with proper planning and communication. I hope that this will become an
annual event that will include all members of our community and will mirror
the
success of events like the bike race in Manayunk, PA that draws over 100,000
people each year.
I hope this is information is helpful. If there is something particular
that you would like me to address, please email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Peace, JWK
