  • NEED YOUR INPUT - ALUMNI 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.
