Local Business Report A.C. Electric's golf classic benefits nonprofits

MAYS LANDING -- Atlantic City Electric has selected the beneficiaries of its Sixth Annual Fall Charity Golf Classic, scheduled for Sept. 26.

Selected to receive a portion of this year's net proceeds are Special Olympics New Jersey, the Arc of Atlantic County and Tri-County Community Action Partnership.

The PHI Community Foundation's Atlantic City Electric Fall Charity Golf Classic began in 2006. Since its inception, it has raised more than $600,000 for nonprofit organizations in South Jersey.

"We hope that the total dollars raised this year will surpass last year's," Atlantic City Electric Region Vice President Robert Revelle said. "Business leaders throughout southern New Jersey have shared how much they value this initiative that benefits our communities."

This year's title sponsor is Cooper Levenson. The presenting sponsor is Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoades, and the platinum sponsors are Kline Construction and IBEW Local 351.

The 2011 Atlantic City Electric Fall Charity Golf Classic event will be held Sept. 26 at the Galloway National Golf Club in Galloway Township. Galloway National is a private, 18-hole championship golf course rated in the top 100 by Golf Digest.

For more information or to reserve your sponsorship, contact Robert Revelle at (856) 351-7310 or Charlie Wimberg at (609) 625-5281.

Send nominations for farm committee

VINELAND -- Farmers and landowners are reminded that the nomination period is under way for local Farm Service Agency county committee positions.

Angela J. Andreoli, Cumberland County executive director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's FSA, urges farmers and ranchers to participate in this year's committee elections by nominating candidates by the Aug. 1 deadline.

"County committees are a vital link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and provide a voice to landowners, farmers and ranchers so that their opinions and ideas can be heard," Andreoli said in a news release.

County committees don't approve loans, but do make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other agricultural issues.

To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area.

Members serve three-year terms. FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 4.

Hotels, Golf and Non-Stop Atlantic City Casino Action | Golf for ...

I am not a heavy gambler; as a matter of fact, I rarely move past the quarter machines to the dollar machines, but I still like the action of pulling the slot handle and usually sit mesmerized until the wheels have made their stop. It is usually my husband who will meander with me through the roulette and blackjack tables in order to find the dealer that "feels" right. Caesars brands include probably the largest conglomerate of hotel rooms and casino space in Atlantic City, perhaps with the Trump Organization weighing in a close second. On the boardwalk, four uniquely different interconnected resort hotel buildings are Caesars, Ballys, Wild West Casino and Claridge Hotel; a very brief five-step walk from the door of Caesars to the door of Trump Casino makes this a five-casino hotel connection (Trump Hotel and Casino should be investigated...it's as glitzy as some of "The Donald's" New York City hotels and I have won in the casino!) Not only are the hotel buildings all an indoor walk to each other, Caesars has reopened a beautiful indoor mall shaped like a ship which has a wonderful water show every half hour on the hour. This means that, for people who want to explore but don't wish to wander the boardwalk, everything you could ever need or want is indoors; gambling, food and fun! For those people who would prefer staying at a resort which is about a half-mile stroll to the center of the boardwalk, I suggest the Hilton Casino Resort, next to Tropicana hotel. The Hilton provides a lovely beach bar, elegant surroundings and, in my humble opinion, good odds. Also, right next door to Hilton is the Tropicana, a huge resort complex for when you feel you need more excitement and a change of scenery. The Tropicana also has so many dining options and is so large that you may lose your way! On the opposite side of the boardwalk, and for fans of New Orleans, stop by the Showboat. House of Blues makes its Atlantic City home at the Showboat and it is also right next door to the once glamorous Resorts Hotel and Casino. I personally liked the Showboat Hotel more in the past, when there was a live band in the lobby and the musician who wandered around entertaining and teaching guests to play the spoons in the hallway but cutbacks, I guess, have made these entertaining treats unaffordable. Hi, my name is Stacy Solomon.
