ROTARY TAKES THE CUP!
The annual Rotary vs. Lions Haddy Cup Trivia Challenge Resulted in Win for Rotary!
This was the third year of this very high level competition which pits neighbor against neighbor in the name of charity. Rotary took the Haddy Cup in Year 1, but lost it to the Lions Club in Year 2 by a close margin. With this year's win, we proudly welcome home our coveted Haddy Cup and congratulate all those who participated. It was such a fun evening for all involved. See photo album at right for more photographs from the event.
Great job Rotarians!

Yo Ho Ho...A Pirate's Life for Me!
We had such a great time on the Delaware River last week as we sailed along on the AJ Meerwald!
Such a beautiful evening...lots of great friends, food and drink as we watched for pirates on the open sea (aka river). We were happy to see a Bald Eagle watching us from afar, but no pirates...fortunately!
Rotary Circle takes Center Stage!
This is "Rotary in Action" and community efforts at their finest! Rotarian Susan Baltake describes it best: "Neither cold weather, traffic or construction problems could stop "Ballerina" from standing tall today!" See the town's newest sculpture gracing "Rotary Circle" the next time you are in Haddonfield (near Acme at Haddon and Ellis Streets). Excellent work by the Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust and Stuart Harding, who is pictured above (center) with Barry Woods Johnston (right), the sculptor.

The Club gave each of the 12 proud graduates a culinary arts book to continue their learning.
Rotarians meet Dalai Lama in Dharamshala
Thanks so much to member, Rich Hluchan, who shared this amazing photograph from the trip to India for Rotary National Immunization Day, with Tom Veevers. The group had an audience with the Dalai Lama! We can't help but wonder...what did they talk about?
Pictured above are Past District Governor Tom Veevers with Haddonfield Rotarians Kathy and Jim Tassini, Dennis Kelleher, Lorrie Hart (Charles's wife), Kurt Brearey (Cheryl Laney), Debbie and Rich Hluchan.
Sure hope Rich and the others will share more about this special meeting when they return. By all reports...the trip was WONDERFUL!
Doing Good.
And, Having Fun Doing It!
Should someone ask a member of the Rotary Club of Haddonfield, “What’s Rotary, anyway?” the likely response will be short and simple: “Rotary is about doing good, and having fun doing it.”
More formally, Rotary is about service and fellowship. In over 200 countries around the world, more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders – members of 33,000+ Rotary clubs – offer their time, talents, and treasure to help make the world a better place. They find it both very worthwhile and satisfying.
