LANJ President Jason Sharenow (third from left) presents $5,000 to representatives of the Police Unity Tour at last year’s 2nd Annual LANJ Golf Outing
Skillman, N.J. — The 3rd Annual Limousine Association of New Jersey (LANJ) Golf Outing, which will be held this Monday, September 16, at the Cherry Valley Country Club, is shaping up to be one opportune networking occasion.
Operators and suppliers from throughout New Jersey—as well from numerous locations all across the country—have been registering daily to attend the event. And the event’s organizers have gone to great lengths to ensure that all attendees will have a terrific time meeting up with potential affiliates and networking to nurture new business connections while enjoying some friendly competition.
And, as in the two previous years, attendees will be supporting two worthy charities, as a portion of the day's proceeds will once again fund contributions to Covenant House New Jersey and Police Unity Tour. The former is a nonprofit organizations that shelters homeless youth, while the latter not only memorializes fallen officers but also raises money for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and Museum. The Police Unity Tour has been a golf tournament beneficiary since the event debuted, and this is the second year that the golf outing will support the Covenant House.
The golf portion of the day begins at 11 a.m. with a “lunch to go,” followed by a shotgun start at noon.
For those who aren’t golfers, arrive at the country club by 5 p.m. and you'll be right on time to join those coming off the golf course for cocktails and a barbecue supper. The evening will offer a casual setting to easily mingle and meet with the day’s many attendees from New Jersey and beyond.
Register by emailing patricia.nelson103@gmail.com. Individual golfers are $195; it’s $780 to register a foursome. Those who simply want to attend the dinner can pay $75. Full payment in advance is required to secure registration for the event.
Participation for golfers includes a round of golf, use of a golf cart, and all fees, including lunch, unlimited beverages while golfing, cocktails, and dinner.
Also included is an invitation to the Affiliate Pre-Party, which will be held Sunday, September 15, at Strawberry's Pub & Pizza in Woodbridge, N.J.

Delaware Operations Manager Tyrone Gale Jr. 
Delaware Affiliate Manager Ellyne Gale Upland, Pa. — Eagle Chauffeured Services has announced that Tyrone Gale Jr. has joined the company as their new Delaware operations manager. Gale’s wife Ellyne will also join the company as Delaware affiliate manager.
Eagle’s Delaware operation will be run from offices in the Northern and Southern regions of the state, with a fleet consisting of sedans, SUVs, and executive vans. Gale is pleased to be returning to the chauffeur ground transportation industry after an extended break.
Gale says he was encouraged to return to the industry by a phone call from Eagle President & CEO Thomas Nielsen. While Gale was exploring other business ventures at the time, he and Ellyne missed the business, and the opportunity to be part of an established and respected operation was more than a little intriguing.
“The fire is lit,” says Gale. “Ellyne and I are excited to be back in the business we love. “This opportunity to work with Eagle gives us a chance to take care of clients not only locally but also worldwide. We are adding our non-stop dedication to service to an already successful company. This venture should be epic.”
The addition of Delaware operations continues a period of growth for Eagle. In late 2018, they merged with Malvern, Pa.-based company Celebrity Worldwide.
