As for the AJO team, Shannon O'Connor Bock explained that our male contingent was comprised of golfers and our female contingent made of shoppers.
“Nonetheless, we made up in enthusiasm for what we lacked in skill. Lots of laughs and a really fun evening for a very worthwhile cause.”
Congratulations to our friends at Morristown Neighborhood House for a successful fund-raiser. A special thanks to all teams who participated and to everyone who contributed to this amazing cause.
