- Carl’s Sunoco station will be 65 years old on June 9, the date of
the 65-club business meeting. Carl’s
is donating $0.65 per gallon, on June 9, to various Service Clubs in
Haddonfield, of which the 65 Club is one. Doug Rauschenberg has researched
the history of gas stations in Haddonfield. Instead of the business meeting, Doug will
present his research to the 65 Club and members will go to Carl’s afterwards
for further possible events.
- The club is still waiting to hear if the Lions
club will have a Flea Market this year.
- Fred Willis attempted to assemble the paper model
that was to be used in the 4th of July parade. Fred discovered
the assembly was more difficult than expected and when scaled up as
required for the parade would require much more time than the club members
could expend. Frank concurred and
the model idea was canceled. Frank
is now investigating topics that can be placed on posters.
- The Mayor’s Wellness Conference is rescheduled from Saturday May 7
to Saturday October 1.
- The Fall Festival will be moved to Saturday October 8 and is currently

adequate location and the club will not participate if this location
remains.
