Tourism Support Sought WILDWOOD - Support for the governor's $4-6 million tourism budget is a must among tourism leaders and Resort officials, according to First District Assemblyman Guy F. Muziani (RCumberland, Cape May). "Tourism is big business for the State of New Jersey. It provides jobs for residents as well as revenue directly Into the State’s tax coffers. "This is a clean, selfsupporting industry, considered by many to be New Jersey’s No. 1 industry, but p, recognized by everyone as at least No. 2,” Muziani

stated.

“THE YEAR before Governor Kean took office, the Division of Travel and Tourism had a meager $800,000 budget. Hre governor, seeing that the fiscal budget this year was only $2.4 million for tourism went to the legislature and worked to have another $1 million dollars allocated,"

Musiahi said.

It is imperative, said Muziani, that tourism leaders and resort officials from all parts of New Jersey urge the members of the Joint Appropriations Committee to keep this part of the

budget intact.

Tourism leaders and officials -art urged to contact Muziani’s legislative office at 609-729-3786 for information on how they may take part in budget hearings.” Auxiliary Aid Hailed CAPE MAY-The Coast Guard Auxiliary has proved to be an invaluable asset to Coast Guard Group Cape May. During the 1983 Search and Rescue Season, Coast Guard Auxiliary personnel and resources from 20 flotillas in Southern New Jersey and Delaware provided key support in successfully handling one quarter of the Search and Rescue load within the Group Cape May area of

responsibility.

Aggressive participation in courtesy motorboat examinations, numerous boating safety courses, and civic affairs made a major contribution to boating

safety.

THE COAST GUARD Auxiliary is a civilian organization which assists the Coast Guard in its 1 Search and Rescue' and Boating Auxiliary Liaison Officer for Group Cape May, 78 operational facilities (auxiliary’ boats used for Search and Rescue) and seven auxiliary radio stations were recently presented Letters of Appreciation by Capt. Lance A. Eagan, commander of Coast Guard Group Cape. Capt. Eagan stated that the auxiliary’s “unselfish devotion to duty and the professionalism displayed remains in conformance with the highest traditions of the Coast Guard nationwide. I look forward to working with the auxiliary as we prepare for the 1984 SAR season.”

Chamber - Seeking Listings COURT HOUSE - The county Chamber of Commerce is seeking listings for this year’s edition of the Cape May County Events Calendar.

The only requirement is that the event be open to the general public, said Ted Roman, chamber president ORGANIZATIONS such as churches, fire companies, civic and service clubs, recreation commissions and public relations departments who organize and sponsor events are asked to send a listing of their 1984 and early 1985 events to the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce, P.O.
