| The Red Bank Education and Development Initiative sponsored
the Fourth Annual Red Bank Education Awards event on May 6, 2004. The
event took place at McLoone's Riverside Dining in Sea Bright, New Jersey.
The event was a smashing success, as over 300 people from all segments of
the Red Bank community came together to celebrate the people and
organizations who are making a difference in the lives of Red Bank children.
The Initiative extends a warm "Thank You" to all of the businesses and other
organizations that purchased ads in the event journal, and to all of those
who donated gifts and services to the award winners. |
