Walsh’s Good Works
Holmdel Mayor Bob Walsh at the 2009 Optimist Club of Howell's Annual Breakfast for Special Needs and Underprivleged Children

The photo posted this morning in Tis The Season has caused quite a stir and prompted many phone calls and emails, including a call from Howell Mayor Bob Walsh who said he expected such posts from Kathy Barratta but not from me.
Ouch!
He said this morning’s post was “a bad joke.”
The photo of Walsh published this morning also appears in the Monmouth County Affiliated Republican Club’s events photo archive.
Walsh put his appearance at the Monmouth County Federation of Republican Women’s Holiday Luncheon, dressed as an elf, in context and provided more photos. He said he has been appearing at the Optimist Club of Howell’s Annual Breakfast with Santa for special needs and underprivileged children for 8 years. That’s were he was prior to attending the Federation’s luncheon in Red Bank.
Walsh said his appearance as an elf at the luncheon was just a quick stop between events. After the luncheon he went on to a baby shower and then to another charitable event for special needs children at a private venue.
Walsh does not yet have photos from last Saturday’s Optimist event, but said he would send them on when he gets them.
MMM welcomes similar photos of any other Freeholder candidate.
