I want to take this opportunity to thank Neill Borowski, Executive Editor & Content Director for issuing a public clarification today regarding the recent The Press of Atlantic City coverage of the Hurley in the Morning Golf Open Charity.
 
It was my strong belief that the July 7, 2010 article (particularly the headline) left the reader with a negative, false impression regarding our charity efforts.
 
In today's print and online editions, The Press sets the record straight that we were not sanctioned by the state. The consent order we agreed to was merely for amicable settlement purposes only.
 
I have spent the past several weeks in very positive discussions with Neill Borowski to work out a clarification that would successfully resolve the matter.
 
Neill was a gentleman throughout our discussions.
 
I also want to thank my attorney, Paul D'Amato for his assistance. As always, Paul is a great and trusted friend. Following Paul's initial contact, Neill and I were able to get together and mutually resolve the situation.
 
This was very important to me, because I did not want you to get the wrong impression about our honorable work.
 
I am also pleased to confirm that on the day The Press article ran, we were able to raise $ 11,035 in a four hour (7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.) on-air "HurleyThon" as a show of public support for our efforts to date.
 
This unexpected fundraising bonanza has set us on a path for a record 4th Annual Hurley in the Morning Golf Open, Presented by Martin and Sheila O'Boyle slated for Friday, June 17, 2011 at The Mays Landing Golf and Country Club.
 
 
Thank you for your support.
