The Word on the Street 

The New Year looms. 

It’s time to start thinking 

about resolutions. 

What resolution would 

your spouse like you to 

make for yourself? 

haddonfield.today | 3 

KATHLEEN 

STOLTZFUS of 

Cherry Hill: “My 

husband just redid 

our kitchen. It’s 

gorgeous and he’s 

so proud of it. I think 

he would like me 

to resolve to keep it 

spotless.” 

MARY ANN 

BIGELOW of 

Haddonfield: “He’d 

want me to resolve 

to relax and stop 

overthinking things.” 

KIMBERLY RICE 

of Cherry Hill: “He’d 

say: “I want you to 

resolve to take as 

good care of yourself 

as you take of 

others.” 

KATE ZSCHECH of 

Haddonfield: “He 

would ask me to 

remember my worth 

and resolve ‘to take 

care of myself as 

much as I take care 

of other people.’” 

JILL SAYRE 

LAWLOR of 

Westmont: “That’s 

easy, because 

he frequently 

comments that I’m 

‘always on the go.’ He 

would want me to 

resolve to take more 

time for myself.” 

DENISE STUART 

of Haddonfield: “My 

husband would 

want me to stop 

talking so much 

about work. And 

Rotary. He’d say, 

‘You’re supposed to 

be retired!’”

A perfect present for grandpa 

› Having trouble finding a holiday gift for your 

retired husband, father, or grandfather? 

A local community group has just what you need. 

One size fits all, and it’s really affordable! 

The 65 Club is a social and service organization 

for retired male residents of Haddonfield. Members 

meet each Thursday in the clubhouse on 110 

Rhoads Ave. Most meetings feature a guest speaker. 

The club holds seasonal luncheons and wine-andcheese 

get-togethers to which spouses are invited, 

as well as several bus trips during the year. There 

are regular bowling and golf outings, card games 

each week, and an extensive book lending library. 

Members raise funds to support a variety of 

local charities – the Salvation Army’s Kroc Center 

in Camden, for example. They serve as marshals 

for local 5K runs (including one sponsored by the 

Haddonfield Lions Club). On behalf of the Salvation 

Army, they ring the Red Kettle Bell outside the 

Acme during the holiday season. 

This “perfect present for grandpa” will set you 

back all of 37 cents a week – although the treasurer 

would prefer an annual check for $20. 

For more information and a membership 

application, go to haddon65club.blogspot.com or call 

Chuck Kanupke at 856-795-5810.

Underground 

Railroad talk 

› Untold stories of 

courage, resilience, and 

defiance against the 

shackles of slavery will 

be unveiled at 12n on Sat 

Jan 13 when Ellen Alford 

author, of Abolition and 

the Underground Railroad 

in South Jersey: Not 

Without a Fight, speaks at 

the Public Library. 

During the Civil War 

era, southern New Jersey 

was a hotbed of slave 

fugitives, freedmen and 

abolitionists. 

The proud 22nd 

Regiment of the US 

Colored Troops included 

hundreds of Black New 

Jerseyans ready to fight 

for emancipation and the 

Union cause. 

Abolitionists such as 

Harriet Tubman, Abigail 

Goodwin, and Benjamin 

Sheppard operated 

among key landmarks 

of the Underground 

Railroad in South Jersey. 

Slavery and the rights 

of Black Americans 

were at the forefront of 

the region’s attention, 

including stories such 

as a melee in a Cape 

May hotel between 

Black waiters and white 

patrons, the covert 

signaling of boats 

ferrying fugitive slaves 

across the Delaware 

River, and the daring 

rescue by local church 

worshipers of a runaway 

slave from the hands of 

slave catchers.

Underground Railroad

On HPP stage 

in 2024 

› Haddonfield Plays & 

Players has announced 

its line-up of Main Stage 

productions for 2024. 

First up, opening on 

Fri Jan 19, is Monty 

Python’s Spamalot. 

Spamalot tells the 

legendary tale of King 

Arthur’s quest to find 

the Holy Grail. Inspired 

by the classic comedy 

film, Monty Python 

and the Holy Grail, the 

musical also diverts a 

bit from more traditional 

versions of the legend. 

Instead, Spamalot 

features shenanigans 

including a line of 

beautiful dancing girls, 

a flatulent Frenchman, 

killer rabbits, and a 

plague with a 50% 

chance of pestilence and 

famine. 

The show will run thru 

Sat Feb 3. 

For tickets, go here: 

bit.ly/3TmtLgD n. 

Next in line: 

• Bonnie and Clyde: A 

New Musical, from Fri 

Mar 8 thru Sat Mar 23. 

• Hair: The Musical, from 

Fri May 10 thru Sat May 

25. 

• Stephen Sondheim’s 

Assassins, from Fri Sep 

20 thru Sat Oct 5. 

• The 2024 holiday 

show, The Mystery of 

Edwin Drood, will open 

on Fri Dec 6 and run 

thru Sat Dec 21. 

Tickets for individual 

shows are $32. 

A season subscription 

(5 shows) costs just $110 

– a savings of $50.

Fire Company Fund Drive 

› Haddon Fire Company No. 2 has been protecting 

our community for nearly 260 years. The second 

oldest volunteer fire company in the United States, 

its members respond to between 500 and 600 

emergency calls per year. 

In addition to relying on volunteers, the Fire 

Company also relies on contributions from the 

community to help cover its costs. Donations in 

any amount are greatly appreciated. Many residents 

take the view that the Company’s service is worth 

at least $1 a week (or $2) and give $52 (or $104). 

To donate online, go to HaddonFireCompany.org 

and click the Donate tab.
