Quotes from our patrons …

This was a wonderful lecture.  Learned much about chocolate.  The Mayan dinner was so delicious.  I tried many new foods and recipes. - Kathy L. Clark (10/4/12 Not Your Mother's Hot Chocolate.

We love these programs and deeply appreciate the opportunity to attend. - Dorothy Stanaitis (10/11/12 Mayan Calendar of Kings)

A wonderful use of fund by the Council for the Humanities - Fabulous! Great use of a humanities grant.  It allows a large number of citizens (mostly seniors) to take advantage of the community college, which they might not otherwise access. This further engenders support for the college and allows Civil War buffs to hear wonderful speakers. - James O'Connell (10/10/12 Jefferson Davis: President of the Confederate States of America)



Special Events

 

New Jersey at Gettysburg
Date: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Civic Hall inside the Connector Building, Blackwood Campus
Mr. David G. Martin, a well known Civil War historian and author, will be presenting this lecture on the impact of New Jersey troops on the battle of Gettysburg. His works include the seminal study Regimental Strengths and Losses at Gettysburg, the award winning Gettysburg July 1, and most recently, New Jersey at Gettysburg Guidebook, which was published by the New Jersey Civil War Heritage Association.
It is probably safe to say that the battle of Gettysburg is the best-known battle in American History. The very name calls to mind, not a small town in southern Pennsylvania, but three crucial days in the Civil War. Less well-known is the part New Jersey troops played in these three decisive days. New Jersey men did their duty at well- known places like the Peach Orchard, Devil’s Den, Wheatfield and Cemetery Ridge and they played a key role in repelling attacks by Confederate Generals George Pickett and JEB Stuart. The New Jersey Civil War 150th Anniversary Committee is sponsoring this lecture to honor and commemorate New Jersey’s service at Gettysburg.

Historic Architecture Tour of Haddonfield - FULL/NO NEW REGISTRATIONS ACCEPTED

Date: Wednesday, June 26, 2013
Time: 10 a.m.
Meeting Place: Haddonfield Historical Society, 343 Kings Hwy East, Haddonfield
Cost: $10 per person, Limited to 25 registrants
Joe Haro, retired CCC professor and a long-time architecture guide in Haddonfield and Philadelphia, will lead the 90-minute tour. The casual stroll of beautiful tree-lined streets will sample a variety of houses and other significant buildings dating from the early 1700’s. Mr. Haro will move from the town’s early Quaker roots and continue through the 20th century. Haddonfield became a “new suburbia” in the mid-19th century, with the advent of the train that traveled from Philadelphia to Atlantic City through Haddonfield.
In the mid-1800’s, the Victorian era brought a whole new look to the community. Participants will be treated to excellent examples of Colonial, Federal and Victorian styles among other interesting sites. One will come away realizing why Haddonfield is considered “a beautiful village” in the middle of urban sprawl. There is ample parking in front of the Historical Society where the tour begins.

Quotes from our patrons …

I really appreciated how practical this presentation was.  I am going into school nursing and I can at least on a small level have some intelligent, helpful input if I am invited to a Child Study Team meeting with an autistic child. - Margie Cryan (10/1/12 Autism, Anxiety and Mental Health)


I found all the information very informative.  Will Hoheisel really blessed my heart and I am so thankful that he shared
his story. - Cathy Schliep (3/26/12 Living with Autism)

Great presentation.  I enjoyed gaining the perspective of parents of children in various stages of Autism.  - Marjorie
