CITY HALL SAM: Just Back From The Brady Bash

The Brady Bash at the shore was once again a big smash. The big shots and power brokers of the Philadelphia power organization convened at Keenan’s Pub in North Wildwood, N.J. Among the well-wishers to the Chairman were Ward Leader and power broker JOHN DOUGHERTY and his dad “MR. DOC”, STATE REP. ED NEILSON, SHERIFF JEWELL WILLIAMS, STATE SEN. TONY WILLIAMS and COUNCILMEN MARK SQUILLA, BOB HENON and BILL GREENLEE. Also in attendance were other WARD LEADERS MATT MYERS, BOB DELLAVELLA, BILL DOLBOW, MIKE McALEER, SHAWN DILLON, JOHN SABATINA, JR., CONNIE DOUGHERTY PAT PARKINSON and EMILIO VAZQUEZ.

Many from this group were also seen in attendance at a fundraiser the night before at the seashore home of former SHERIFF BARBARA DEELEY. The seabreeze cocktails flowed generously and the sea breezes flowed gently as the crowd gathered at her comfortable retreat in Angelsea, N. Wildwood to honor Councilman Bob Henon. CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY attended the event accompanied by his executive consultant KEN SMUKLER.

Ward Leader John Sabatina, Sr. also hosted a party at his Wildwood Crest home. His lovely wife LISA was a generous host and all of the guests left completely full. Among the attendees were former STATE SEN. BOB ROVNER and many of the aforementioned VIPs. All roads head to Wildwood in August with political and union locals hosting fundraisers. Among the unions, the same weekend, were the Glaziers and Operating Engineeers. Most of the events are held at Keenan’s, which over many summers has grown into a blocklong operation able to handle several gatherings at the same time. Helping pack Keenan’s was a turnout of North Catholic, Norcoms, alumni, reliving a cherished history that is no longer.
