Republican Candidates Serve it up at The Sandwitch Shop

Details: Category: News; Published: 22 August 2011

HIGHLANDS, NJ - On August 20, 2011, Highlands Republican Candidates Robert Keaveny, Kevin Connelly, and Melissa Cerciello, were present at the Sandwitch Shop located on Waterwitch Ave. in Highlands to literally “serve” customers coming in for breakfast. The 3 republican Candidates, for 2 hours from 9-11 A.M. acted as servers for Sandwitch Shop customers taking orders, serving breakfast, and busing tables. This campaign event was the brainchild of Linda Mikhail and other members of the Highlands Republican Campaign team. “We thought this would be a fun way for our candidates to meet and greet members of the community. We were looking for a new way for people to get to know our candidates”, Mikhail Commented.

The three candidates not only served members of the public but answered questions and received much useful feedback regarding concerns of the community. “We might have gotten a couple of the orders wrong”, said candidate Robert Keaveny, “But by doing events like this we hope to get things right when we are elected in November. Only by listening to members of the community can this be accomplished”. The Candidates will once again be on hand to “serve” the public again at the Sandwitch shop on 10/22/11.

“The mere experience of photographing wildlife transports me to another world…it is an added bonus when I capture the essence and magnificence of another being I get to share the planet with…” states Eric Sambol.

Sambol uses the medium of photography to reawaken his childhood passion for nature. The exhibition showcases the remarkable wildlife he has had the pleasure to interact with and creatures both large and small are captured on film to show their beauty and character. The animals become works of art in the close-up portraits and candid shots.

All proceeds from the sales of the exhibition will be donated to the scholarship fund of Monmouth University and Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey. Sambol resides in Brick, NJ and is a trustee of Conserve Wildlife Foundation.
