Thursday, September 20th also happened to be an amazing day perfect for those who teed off at Spring Lake Golf Club for the event. The Golf Outing’s success was a direct reflection of the work of its dedicated committee lead by Event Co-Chairs: Peter Reinhart, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. and Wm. J. Ruckert, III, Provident Bank and the Committee Richard Cohen, David Cooner, Peter Fitzsimmons, Paul Fried, Dave Hankins, Bryan Holsey, Tom Hyland, Brian Leddin, Mark Murphy, Jeffrey R.
