IN THE NEWS
ARTICLES.
We hope you
like this new feature in our website. We need your input!
The requirements are simple. Send us ( via e-mail, fax or
letter ) and we'll consider it for inclusion on our website. We do have
some restrictions / considerations:
(1)
We must have approval of the alumni
involved.
(2) We can not publish articles on students
currently enrolled in Haddonfield
schools.
(3)
Our focus is on our alumni and their families.
(4)
Of course, we will consider the appropriateness,
content, timeliness and
quality of the printed materials and pictures.
Our current "Alumni in the News" article is on:
Again, we need your help. If you are aware of any news worthy
items on our alumni, please send it in. We will get their approval.
Remember -- it doesn't have to be "earth shattering" news, just
something your fellow alumni would be interested in. As a side note,
your webmaster ( Tom Baird ) apologizes for publishing an article on
himself but we do need news articles and he wanted to be the "straw
man" for others to follow. As the butt of many jokes, he welcomes your
comments via e-mail, fax, telephone or mail.
