THREE FORMER DOWNBEACH WOMEN BECOME BRIDGE MASTERS
Every bridge player I have known likely had a high IQ since that card game, like chess, is a thinking game requiring deep concentration. I knew such a high IQ person, my cousin who graduated high school in NYC at age 13 and acquired a college diploma before becoming a U.S. Army Air Corps navigator in World War 2. Three former Downbeach women now living in Florida for the winter have achieved the top level of Life Master in Bridge at the Florida Orlando Regional Bridge Tournament this month. We congratulate Marilyn Ross, Joyce Meltzer (EHT) and Doris Grabel (Ventnor). When here they play bridge together at the bridge club in Northfield. These snow birds will display their bridge skills upon their return in the spring.
ONE COMPLIMENTARY MEAL DAILY AT DOWNBEACH DELI
In these tough economic times with the public reducing their spending, many merchants are turning to clever marketing to lure customers back to their premises, such as big discount sales. Now the restaurant business is a different story.
Rob Hammerschlag with a background in economics, has designed a clever way to attract eaters to his popular Downbeach Deli in Margate with one complimentary meal a day to a local patron who is a frequent customer of the establishment. Rob will randomly give out a free meal card each day, "to those who are loyal to us," said Rob. The card will read: "You Have Been Bailed Out; Today's meal is Compliments of Downbeach Deli. Thank you for your Patronage; Please Don't Forget To Tip Your Server, And, Tell Your Friends." A very clever way by Rob, which should be successful. And Rob reminds his customers he will take his winter vacation shutting Downbeach Deli from Monday, Feb. 2 reopening Thursday, Feb. 26. Happy vacation Rob and your staff; we will miss you next month.
COUNTY EXEC LEVINSON PRESENTED MLK AWARDS TO ALAN KLIGERMAN AND SHARON KELLY
He is known as the inventor of Beano and Lactaid, but Alan E.Kligerman is also highly recognized for his philanthropic and humanitarian contributions to the civic and Jewish community. For this service, Kligerman, last week was one of two honorees for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Award. The other recipient was Sharon Kelly, founder and president of the Atlantic County Chapter of Mothers in Charge, honoring her group's service for promoting alternatives to violence and compassion to fellow citizens plus many other civil rights activities. Here's why Kligerman was selected: He is a past president of the NAACP and helped local craft unions to racially integrate. Kligerman is founder of SugarLo Company and Lactaid and founder of AKPharma Inc. (Egg Harbor Township) with products that help many people digest their foods. In the Jewish community, Kligerman is active with the Anti- Defamation League and has traveled extensively for that organization. He is a major supporter of Peace Now and has worked diligently for Middle East peace. He is also chairman of the Atlantic County Chapter for Civic Responsibility's Citizens' Campaign. The awards were presented to Kligerman and Kelly by Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson as part of the area's 22nd observance of Dr. King's birthday. Two worthy recipients.
IVY LEAGUER SCOTT GREENMAN, ASST. PRINCETON COACH
We all remember the stellar play of St. Augustine All-State basketball point guard Scott Greenman who starred at Princeton and was an All-Ivy League selection serving as team captain in his senior year. Scott is currently an assistant coach at Princeton, while his dad, Alan Greenman, former ACHS round ball player is an assistant coach at St. Augustine. Scott could wind us as an Ivy League or another NAACP Division one coach.
ARMC PIONEERS IN AREA ROBOT ASSISTED SURGERY
Leading-edge ARMC urologic surgeon Dr. Craig Slotoroff has implemented the minimally invasive daVinci surgery at the city campus hospital.
