Nothing But Gratitude
Gratitude is powerful
All proceeds from book to benefit Tabernacle Baptist Church in Ocean City, NJ.
Keith Hartzell begins his memoir by explaining why he decided to write this book. After serving 16 years on the Ocean City council, he lost a close election for Mayor. Having more time, he began reminiscing with a friend about how much his family and the town of Ocean City meant to him. He was struck by how fortunate and grateful he felt for the life given to him by God. His friend suggested he write a book to share his stories and lessons learned.
To all the residents who came out
to Saturday mornings' 2nd ward 'Town Hall' meeting to discuss a variety of city topics. Zoning, parking, variances, and Gillian's Wonderland Pier were all on the aganda. The mayor was there for the entire meeting, along with city solicitor, Dottie McCrosson, city engineer, George Savastano, and all of the city's council-people. The turn out was incredible, and illustrates why Ocean City is America's Greatest Family Resort.
At its core, it's the people.
We will be doing this again soon.
Thank you!

Ocean City Ward 2 'Town Hall' Meeting - Conclusion
Thanks to Shari Thompson and the Tabernacle Baptist Church for the opportunity to hold this important city function in such a treasure of the city's heritage and history. Keith
I read this book cover to cover in one afternoon. I have known Keith only a short time since 2008. Keith is a rarity, a person who is truly interested in the people who he serves, who he knows, and who he touches. This book is an inspiration to me.
