The Cumberland County Women’s Hall of Fame will induct three women of achievement on April 19 at Merighi’s Savoy Inn in Vineland. This will be the first induction ceremony since the beginning of the pandemic. The new members are JoAnn Burns of Millville, Stephanie Iglesias of Newfield, and Susan Taylor of Millville. President Shelly Schneider in earlier remarks said, “All of us on the board are very proud of the incredible accomplishments of all our inductees.”
The Hall of Fame was established in 2007 by Louise T. Bertacchi. She served as president of the board until recently. The organization recognizes women in the county for their accomplishments and careers. The Hall of Fame was also developed as a scholarship program for young women graduating high school in our county and awards 16 seniors pursuing higher education. If you would like more information about this organization, follow them on Facebook – Cumberland County Women’s Hall of Fame.
Earth Day will soon be celebrated at various locations throughout Cumberland county on Saturday, April 22, and other springtime dates. Earth Day was established on April 22, 1970, before there were any regulatory agencies like the EPA and the Clean Air and Clean Water acts. Now, one billion individuals are mobilized for action on every Earth Day around the globe. There are 190 countries engaged and that number is growing all the time.
In Cumberland County, the county library will host an event at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 20, entitled “Earth Day is Every Day.” Michelle Rebilas, Education and Outreach coordinator for the American Littoral Society, will share tips and tricks to lessen our daily impact on the planet. Programs are free, but you need to sign up for this program; call the library at 856-453-2210, ext. 26104, or email: brendanmc@cclnj.org.
