Seabrook, a retirement community located in Tinton Falls, recently held its second annual Geography Bee and this year, resident Margot Rivera was the winner. Rivera says she loves to travel and has been to nearly 25 different countries, including the two sovereign states of Vatican City and San Marino. Do you know in which state Lake Francis Case is located? Rivera did and as a result, knowing South Dakota as its home gave her the title. “I’ve always liked to look at maps,” Rivera said. “Different places have always fascinated me.” Originally from Berlin, Germany, Rivera said that the most exotic place she has travelled to was Borneo.

More than 20 different shapes and sizes of bark and breed converged upon the Seabrook Village auditorium for the annual Strut Your Mutt event. The event is a happening that has been taking place for 11 years and like always, it delivered the best in show.

In addition to giving owners a chance to tell all about the relationship with their furry friend, the show gave pets, owners and attendees a unique way to socialize – this is one of Seabrook’s many popular events of the year.

Saturday, January 5
A group of residents from Seabrook Village, a senior living development in Tinton Falls, have donated to a local food bank. A resident-run acting group called the Seabrook Performers collected money from ticket sales from their latest show, "Tales of the South Pacific," to the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, some members of the group, including the producer Lindo Meli, rode around and saw some of the Monmouth County towns hit hardest by the storm. Meli felt he needed to help, so he and the acting troupe donated $1,000 to the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean counties.
