FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HELP CREATE A VISION FOR A GREENER FUTURE
The Haddonfield Green Team is inviting all community stakeholders to participate in a “Vision Meeting” at Borough Hall on Wednesday, February 15th from 7 PM to 9 PM. If you are part of the Haddonfield community and have an interest in sustainability on the local level, this meeting should be exciting. The meeting promises to be highly interactive with group exercises and activities that will help create a collective vision to guide the Haddonfield community in regards to sustainability.
Haddonfield was awarded bronze-level Certification as a Sustainable Community under the Sustainable Jersey™ program in September 2010. Now the Haddonfield Green Team is currently working on raising the Borough's level of certification from Bronze to Silver by 2013 and are seeking input from the community. The Vision Meeting plays a key part in engaging the Haddonfield community. If you are interested in attending:
