Red Kettle Workers

AFter our trip to the Salvation Army's KROC Center in Camden, we wanted to help in some way. We signed up to work one pf the Red Kettle collection points in Haddonfield for a day.

We divided up the the time in one hour segments and members took one hour shifts.

We tried to us our most imposing members to increase the giving.. We think it worked...

Here we have an example -- the "persuaders" (Little Bell and Big Bell)

Christmas Party

Our Annual Christmas Party was held at the Methodist Church in Haddonfield.

As always there was lots of very good and tempting food...

The Pine Barrens Singers were a greatly enjoyed.

Worst President Ever - Robert Strauss

Robert Strauss spoke to us about the "Worst President Ever".

He explained his choice for this dubious distinction. There were several points made, but the most telling was that he was the leader that wade the decisions that led to the Civil War.

The Worst President EVER -- James Buchanan.

Trip to the Chapel of the 4 Chaplains Followed by Lunch

Lou Cavaliere spoke to us a year ago and we were able to schedule a trip to see the chapel and memorial in person. So we had our interest sparked about the building.

 The building houses more than  a memorial. Is is also a working chapel for quiet worship, weddings and services.

Christine Beady and Michelle Nolfi were our hosts and gave us not only a great presentation, but also information to take away. They also gave us information on many of the items on deiplay.

As a service to then some of our more handy members help with the installation of the flag spreaders.

We were impressed with the history of the chapel, the story of the sacrifice of the 4 chaplains and the growth of the 4 chaplains foundation and the ongoing work that is done by them.

The lunch was nearby and great. 

Fall Wine and Cheese Party

Our Fall Wine and Cheese Party is always well-attended and gives members and spouses a chance to get to know each other better over fine wines, great cheeses wonderful appetizers and great desserts.

All to some great music...
