The meeting will begin with a dinner at 6:30 P.M. at Szechuan Star Restaurant located at 3338 Route 9 South, Freehold, NJ 07728 in the Barclay Plaza shopping mall.
Gerry Sharfenberger has recently ascended to Monmouth County Freeholder after the Republican County Committee elected him to replace Serena DiMaso, who has been elected to the New Jersey Assembly.
Dr. Gerry Sharfenberger, was the former Acting Director of the New Jersey Business Action Center and the former Director at the Office for Planning Advocacy.
Gerry received a Master’s degree from Hunter College and a Doctorate from the CUNY Graduate Center. He has been serving on the Middletown Township Committee since 2005 holding the position of Mayor on six separate occasions and Deputy Mayor in 2006 and 2009. His appointments include the Township’s Open Space Committee and the Municipal Alliance for the Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
Freeholder Sharfenberger and his wife have resided in Middletown for over 25 years where they’ve raised their two children.
Gerry has also served on Governor Christie’s transition team, and has it has been reported that he was given the distinction of being axed by Governor Murphy. As a public official of Middletown, he could not support Murphy’s scheme that would allow New Jersey residents to pay property taxes as charitable contributions to their municipalities as a way of preserving a deduction capped at $10,000 by President Trump last year.
We look forward to welcoming Freeholder Sharfenberger, hear his plans for Monmouth County, and wish him our best luck.

November 16th Meeting – Freehold Township Republican Club Meeting – Newly Re-elected Monmouth County Freeholder John Curley will be the guest speaker.
Author: admin
THE NEXT REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETING – Monday. November 16th. Guest presenter will be our newly re-elected Monmouth County Freeholder John Curley. If you haven’t heard John before, you can’t miss him presenting his plans now that he’s been re-elected to his 2nd term
John is a fourth generation Monmouth County resident growing up in Shrewsbury. He’s an alumni of Christian Brothers Academy and has his Bachelor of Arts degree in Government from Thomas Edison State College. He is Vice President of Jim Curley GMC Buick and Kia auto dealership in Lakewood and serves as a trustee of the Christian Brothers Academy Alumni, and has been a trustee of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Central Jersey Chapter.
Mr. Curley became immersed in a political life with his election in 2002 as a Democrat on the Red Bank Borough Council. During his 5-year tenure serving in many capacities which included: a member of the Red Bank Zoning Board of Adjustment; council liaison to the local Planning Board; the Historic Preservation Commission; and Special Improvement District and the Public Works Committee. Seeing the light, he also transitioned as a Republican becaming Red Bank mayor in 2006.
John resides now in Middletown, and has been a staunch proponent of fiscal responsivity leading improvements always mindful of taxpayers. Most noted during his first term as a Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders is limiting costs and in many cases eliminating unnecessary spending in running the county’s government. By promoting and implementing a philosophy of “Zero Base Budgeting”, which counters the familiar practice of what did we spend in the prior year, and do at least add the same in the future year adjusting upward for inflation, spending has held firm. Instead John asks, “do we still need it, if so, to what degree, and then, can we spend less for the same thing”. Bottom-line, we get better government.
Freeholder Curley was a major factor in rooting out corruption, mismanagement and overspending of Brookdale Community College’s leadership ultimately removed the College’s President.
Lets hear what he has in store for his second term.

VOTING IN MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

VOTING IN 2015 – Monmouth County
An American tragedy is upon us. Considering that many of our people have given their lives from Bunker Hill to most recently, Chattanooga, Tennessee to protect our democracy and its fundamental right to vote. In New Jersey, it is estimated that we will experience less than 21%, or only about one for every four registered voters will cast a ballot this November 3rd.
Doesn’t matter whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Unaffiliated, a skeptic of the times, hardworking and busy, whatever the reason, if you’re a citizen, you vote.
What makes it inexcusable is how easy it’s become. You can go to the polls which are open early and close late, but, you can also vote by mail, for free.
You just have to fill out an “Application for Vote by Mail Ballot“ and send it in to the Office of the County Clerk so they get it 7 days before the election. You’ll get a ballot sent to you. Need more information and the form? Simple, you can get them everywhere from the library, post office, county offices, or just go to the website: http://visitmonmouth.com/page.aspx?ID=1803.
As a note, you don’t need an excuse to vote by mail. Not like before when you had be out of the area, sick or some other reason to vote by mail when it was called an Absentee Ballot. Now, if you just want to vote from your arm chair, that’s enough. So if there’s no reason needed, there’s no excuse.
And if you’re a procrastinator, like many of us, you can submit an application in person at the County Clerk’s Office at 300 Halls Mill Road up until 3 pm the day before the election.
Of course, you’ll need to be a registered voter. If you’re not, that’s easy to get done as well. Get the form to register at:
http://co.monmouth.nj.us/documents/8/VoterRegistrationApplication.pdf
You can get all the information you need from the New Jersey Division of Elections on line at: http://www.njelections.org.
So, please respect all those wonderful men and women who protect our lives and privileges, every day. We’re not asking you to take up arms, dip your finger in blue ink under threat of death as you’ve probably seen done by people in other countries. We are just asking you to take up the ballot.

Monday, June 22nd

Mr. Smith, owner and president of an identity protection company located in Avenel, NJ shared his experience in helping clients with fraud, identity theft, wallets stolen, and credit card abuses, just to name a few issues we are all vulnerable. Paul spoke of everyday awareness when we answer an email, use a credit card, answer a solicitation call, and other common activities, that threaten our identities and privacy. While difficult to completely stop, he made suggestions to provide some degree of protective measures we can enact.
Christine Hanlon introduced herself and made a few brief comments on changes within the County Clerk’s office and plans for its future. Ms. Hanlon will return after the summer break on September 8th to expand on the Clerk’s Office.
