Clockwise from top left: Area children hold up signs greeting New York City children arriving at Holmdel Park July 14 as part of the Fresh Air Fund’s “Friendly Town Host Families” program. Julie Shell, of Matawan, takes a photo of her son Henry (l), Jade Gallo, of Woodhaven, Queens, who the family is hosting, and her daughter Jackie. Shell greets Jade.
