Take Us Out to the Ball Game

Bob & Joyce Leonetti

On Saturday night July 28th, South Jersey Marriage Encounter gathered as a community to enjoy the Great American Pastime. Bob & Michelle Dooley organized this annual community night at the Atlantic City Surf- a minor league team in the Can-Am League. Fifty seven adults and children sported their M.E. finery and cheered wildly when the group was announced. This year there were a few twists.

Paul & Mary Lou O'Neill made their night at the ballpark a family affair by bringing along new grandson, Jack.

The Surf permitted South Jersey W.W.M.E. to place a table in the concourse which was used as an inviting opportunity. There was a drawing for free Weekend registrations, M.E tri-folds, and assorted other Weekend information. Couples took turns working the booth. Heart shaped “stress balls” with the M.E. Logo and South Jersey contact info were given out at the table and thrown to the crowd during the game. They were a big hit with the crowd.

The Surf also permitted us to make announcements during the game listing our next Weekend dates. Another announcement asked South Jersey coordinators Joe & Thea Hegarty how their dialogue was. It was a fun evening for adults and children alike and a great opportunity to bring the message of the Weekend to a world that deserves it!
