Opening Day of Little League has always been one of the great days in town.  It’s always a great scene with all the youngsters anxious to get the season underway, coaches ready with detailed game plans and everybody ready for a summer full of hot dogs, the smell of leather and the crack of a solid base hit. It’s a rite of passage and our volunteers make it a special occasion. Hats off to all the parents who make Opening Day, and the entire season, a collection of great memories.

On the morning of April 10^th, we hosted an information session for anyone interested in submitting responses to our Request for Qualifications for development of the Speedline. 80 people attended. It was a great demonstration of  interest from the private market in the project.

At tonight’s regular Commission meeting we had some residents that had received a notice to come to our meeting because it was about the TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) being explored for the Speedline parking lots. I need to reiterate what we are doing.

This weekend town was going green in some pretty unique ways.

Last night I had the pleasure of stopping by the Santa Maria Knights of Columbus Hall in Haddon Township for their 38th annual Police Appreciation Night. Every year, the Knights treat policemen from neighboring towns for a dinner and camaraderie. It's a great recognition of our officers. During the night, they raised some money to help the Audubon family that recently lost their home in a horrific fire.

Now that everyone seems to have adjusted to the single-stream recycling (putting all paper, plastic and glass in one recycling bin), the Borough is sponsoring a program to reduce the food waste stream and help handle garbage naturally!
