On Saturday, August 29th, the Avalon public safety volunteers and employees were treated to a generous gathering offered by the Robert Irvine Foundation and the Schanz Family. The family wanted to express its appreciation to Avalon Volunteer Fire Department, Avalon NJ Police Department, and Avalon Rescue Squad for their public service and commitment to safety. The safety team was treated to a generous lunch with fellowship.
Chef Robert Irvine, known by many as a celebrity chef, attended the event which was catered by Polpo Restaurant. Collectively, the Avalon Public Safety team wants to thank the Robert Irvine Foundation, the Schanz family, and Polpo for the generous luncheon and the expression of gratitude. We remain proud to serve the citizens and visitors in Avalon.
