"Michael Jeffrey Stewart came into this world as a micropreemie. He was born at 23 weeks and came the same week that the eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018. He was full of life and extremely bright. Academically, he was working at 2 grade levels above his grade. He was also very witty. His death is a tragedy but he will continue to live on in our hearts."

Did you know, the color of your child's swimsuit can make a significant difference in what you can clearly see under the water?
Neon colors, especially neon orange, are the most visible under water – either in a pool or open water like Lake Kampeska. Think bright & contrasting – wear a color that contrasts the most with either the bottom of the pool, lake, river, or ocean.
As helpful as a neon swimsuit may be, adult supervision continues to be the most effective way to keep children safe in the water - remember to designate one responsible adult to watch swimmers at a time. Take turns throughout the day and encourage children to take periodic swim breaks to give everybody time to relax and recharge.

Not only does this statement contradict what the organizations on the ground know to be facts, but it also contradicts the statements released by our elected officials. Oh what a tangled web we weave....
We can't thank C. Andre Daniels (Mayor Emeritus of Westampton Township) enough for his trademark documenting of the July 5, 2021 protest in #mtlaurelnj (as seen here with our Branch President). More importantly, we're grateful for his patience, courage and wisdom that were absolutely priceless that day. #Salute
