« Ocean Grove: What is it on its 150th birthday?
Light verse by George Held »

The Camp Town ladies in Ocean Grove. Doo dah, doo dah. Fountain talk, one year ago today.

Plant Sale 2014. Ocean Grove Camp Town ladies at work. Paul Goldfinger photograph. ©  This post (2018) is from one year before the fountain was returned.

 

By Paul Goldfinger, Blogfinger.net July 2018.

The ladies in red have  been raising money for Ocean Grove since 1944. They donate thousands of dollars each year to a variety of projects. A few years ago they gave $20,000 to the Together Fund.  And recently they gave $10,000 to the Fountain Fund—Founders Park.

Their events include book sales, fish and chips dinners, plant sale, ice cream social and Christmas Boutique.

The OG Ladies Auxiliary is an arm of the Camp Meeting Association, so we can nickname  OG “Camp Town.”

The plant sale was this past May, but the fish and chips dinner in the Pavilion will be in July. Don’t miss it; it’s great.

Consult your CMA Summer Program Guide.
