Stag Lunch At Tavistock CC 10-8-2020
The Haddonfield 65 Club held it's annual Fall luncheon at
Tavistock Country Club on Thursday, October 8th.
The awards, usually presented to members at the spring luncheon, due to the virus were presented at this time. Awards were made for the 2019-2020 seasons of golf, bridge, bowling, and pinochle.
In addition, the most prestigious award of the Haddonfield 65 Club was presented to two active members .The Bill Hitchins Award is not an annual award, but one that is presented when the board of directors feels that a member is worthy. The criteria used by the board is the member has served in any position in an exemplary fashion for seven years or more. Or served in multiple positions and implemented new ideas that have benefited the club above and beyond his appointed or elected position.
This is a most unusual year as for the first time we have two members that will receive the award in the same year.
The first recipient was Bob Parsons who served as the club president in 2012, served on the Board of Directors since 2009, has coordinated the club's spring and fall luncheons since 2010, utilized his video expertise to record special events and presentations at the club and occasionally provides a joke or two at our meetings. Bob is a former Citizen of the Year selection presented by the Haddonfield Lions Club
The second recipient was Al Schmidt, who served as the club
president in 2018, served on the Board of Directors since 2013, developed and
maintains our website, handles the technical side of our Zoom meetings,
coordinates our venues for the Wine and Cheese Parties, and provides technical
expertise to the club as needed. Al was a recipient of the Camden County
Freedom Award.
With members like this it's no wonder that the 65 Club has
prospered during these difficult times.
We had a great lunch at the Country Club, outside, any we enjoyed getting together at long last. Our thanks to Bob Parsons and his team for pulling all together.
Bill Brown did a great job running the meeting..
It was great to see and hear from the mayor..
AND in this time of the Presidential Election it was timely and very entertaining to hear from Samuel Clemens. We always appreciate his wry wit.

Drones - Jon Moraglia
Jon Moraglia
My Story
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved entrepreneurship and owning a business. I would sell lemonade on the street corner & candy to my classmates. When I was 14 I purchased my first drone. It was a mere toy which is still in a tree near my house (It was the wind). Over time I gained more experience, and quickly realized that drones were my passion. I decided to go all in and pursued the business full time after graduating high school in 2019.
My View Towards Life
Everyone has their own goals and dreams in life. However, most of us don’t think it’s feasible to achieve them. Considering that we only live once, why not try? I created The Drone Life because I wanted to have my hobby become my job. People of all ages have told me that I inspire them to take an initiative in their life as well, proving that it is possible to pursue one’s passion professionally. Who knew that just doing what makes you happy can have such an effect on others as well?
I don’t want to become rich or be famous, I simply want to be happy. The people I meet, and the satisfaction that my work is helping other businesses or individuals, is what keeps me going. What is truly important is the quality of life you live and whether you take the time to enjoy it.
I wanted to share my findings about entrepreneurship with kids so they can be inspired to follow their dreams as well. Now I’ve begun to interact at summer camps, schools, or STEM education events. I love how intrigued they become when I talk about drones or owning my own business at their age. Some have even made their own small businesses! My new mission is to start drone clubs at local schools where kids can build, code, and fly their creations.

Other Hobbies
Reading, hiking, camping, biking, electric cars, astrophysics, sports, gardening, and online selling.
