Brooklawn official meetings of 2009 are underway, and being held at the community center.

They are going very well. We discussed several pertinent issues and had a lot of great ideas from the members. We are getting organized and our membership is growing, and with continued interest and input from our neighbors, this will be a great program.

Neighbors are really coming together on this, which will go a long way in making this program work for all of us.

Meetings are on Sunday evening from 7 – 9 p.m. at the community center. Call Earl Foster at 856-742-8923 or email at [email protected] for meeting information.

Topics will be organizing our communication line and getting the information to the pertinent sources when applicable. Also, we will discuss at-home security and how the programs start with all of us at home…and spreads from there.

Mt. Ephraim, NJ – April 24, 2009 – Fourth grade Beginning Band students from the Mary Bray Elementary School in Mt. Ephraim presented a concert for the 3^rd and 4^th grades and their parents on April 21^st . The event took place in the Media Center.

There are currently twenty-three students in the Beginning Band, which is directed by Mary Manion. These enthusiastic young musicians have mastered about six different notes at this time. They presented a variety of traditional children’s songs including \”Hot Cross Buns\” and \”French Song.\” The drum section was highlighted as they played \”The Mary Bray Drum Cadence.\” Mrs. Manion accompanied her students on the keyboard. The students took turns announcing each song over the microphone.

In keeping with a special custom, the band played through \”Go Tell Aunt Rhodie\” only to discover that the \”real\” Aunt Rhodie was indeed present in the audience! Mrs. Manion said that Aunt Rhodie makes a surprise visit every year. She winked as she denied reports that her own mother portrays the character. After the show, the students enjoyed refreshments provided by the NJEA Pride Committee. One offering was, of course, hot cross buns
