Remembering Late Pals to benefit the Society

Some good music scores with a   combination of foot tapping numbers, party ambience and great friends is all one needs to burn the dance floor. And then you can be sure   of getting a cent percent entertainment from the whole experience. So even the students at Sea Girt Elementary School   would   have enjoyed every bit of the event and laughed their way back after having set a world record.  

The hokey pokey dance was    attempted by a large number of crowd to help raise funds. It  was organized to   support   the  for the Julianne and Emily   Hendrickson   fund   for    Children .This fund was constituted in the memory of two sisters Julianne and Emily who were students of Sea Girt Elementary School. Fourteen-year-old Julianne Hendrickson and her 9-year-old sister, Emily, were killed in a plane crash Aug. 6 in Sitka, Alaska.   Their father, Robert Hendrickson, 45, of Spring Lake Heights, and his fiancée   Linda Khudair,   34, of Wall, also were killed. The Hendrickson Fund's mission is to break the cycle of poverty and welfare through outdoor experiential education, according to the event flier. The event raised more than $3,000.It is a time the whole community needs to come together to create goodwill and could be the best way to eradicate social   evils a like poverty .If it comes from the efforts of the    entire   community   as a whole then dealing with such long standing issues could never be the nightmare of the government alone.

The projectʼs  volunteers, most of whom where friends of the late Julianne and Emily, worked to create the meditation garden, where Monarch butterflies will be raised and released. The ceremony began with Spring Lake resident Patty Piazza reading a poem that was written and read by a Sitka, Alaska resident in a memorial ceremony on Aug. 21, at the site of the plane crash.

After the poem, words about the celebratory nature of friendship were spoken. The mural was unveiled by the brother of the late Julianne and Emily, Alex Hendrickson, who is a senior at Manasquan High School.

The Largest Hokey pokey Dance was set by over 500 people at Fifth avenue Boardwalk Beach, Belmar, Ney Jersey, United States of America on November 2, 2008.
