December 4, 2022 Holiday Giving Continues Dear Haddonfield Rotarians, Thanks to so many of our members, we were able to provide 82 sets of children’s pajamas for Pamela Stalcup (above) to distribute to deserving organizations throughout Camden County. We’ve also stepped up to help sell the Lions Club's raffle tickets. A special shout-out goes to our amazing holiday tree team, raising more than $5,300 for our Foundation's important work. To Allison, Mary Ann, Ross and Steve… thank you so very much. I am so heartened by the warmth and enthusiasm I feel at our weekly meetings. It truly takes a village to accomplish all the many projects we undertake, and I am so very thankful for each of you. President Cheryl  Two Speakers This Week from Symphony in C  On Wednesday we'll hear from two musicians from Symphony in C:   Jocelyn Moore, VP of Education and Community Engagement, and Joseph Hart, VP of Artistic Operations.   Jocelyn holds the position of Second Oboe and also plays with the Philadelphia Orchestra as a substitute musician. She has also performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Richmond Symphony Orchestra, Lancaster Symphony Orchestra, Opera Delaware, and more.  In her VP position she oversees a variety of programs, including a Youth Orchestra, Summer Camp, and many types of musical offerings for South Jersey schools, including those in underserved communities. Jocelyn was previously on the staff of the Temple Music Preparatory Division and the faculty of Play On, Philly! and maintains a private teaching studio based in Cherry Hill, NJ. Joseph Hart is an accomplished musician and experienced music teacher, and is Symphony in C's personnel manager, coordinating orchestra musicians, rehearsal schedules, music and instrument rentals and performance venue details. His career has included teaching positions in PA and NJ public and private schools, private trumpet and guitar instruction as well as a teaching artist with Tune Up Philly in conjunction with the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra. Joseph is an award winning performer and co-founder of the West End Brass Quintet.  Tree Sales Through the Roof   Our 2nd Annual Holiday Tree Auction was a great success.  We raised more than $5,300 -- more than double last year’s gross earnings. As he did last year, Joe Murphy provided the tree shown above which was then donated to LUCY (Lifting Up Camden's Youth) and delivered by (from left) John Martin, Michael Gotwols and Ken Tomlinson.   We could not have done it without our sponsors: Adventure Aquarium, ABC Discount Appliances, Dr. Amy James and Associates, Meant to Bee Home, The Allie Nagle Team RE/Max One Realty, The Costello Group at Compass RE, Opal Wellness Studio, Pamela and Brian Stalcup, D&Q Snow,  Republic Bank, Symphony in C, Doug Rauschenberger, Markeim Arts Center, Sue Tatem, the Bezich, Bigelow, Falls and Super Families.   Thanks to Kate Zschech for sponsoring Santa. It was a huge success with over 80 children who gave Santa their holiday wishes. It was a great event and highlighted the work Haddonfield Rotary does for the community. The banner over Kings Highway was provided by Raible, Cornaglia, Wenstrom & Raible. Thanks also to Eric Zino and his team at the Library. And thank YOU for helping spread the word. Have a wonderful holiday season,   Allison Super, Fundraising Chair Be a Greeter Just visit this link on our website and use Sign-Up Genius to volunteer a few minutes before a weekly meeting.
