President’s Message
Our Flea Market generated at lot of
activity. The club house was overflowing with treasures. Bernie
and Betsy Schaming worked overtime to see that everything was in order.
Saturday the day of the Flea Market was extremely hot. The Rotary Lions who
were selling water ran out!! Fortunately, none of us fainted. Thanks to this
Herculean effort our sales were $901.00.
A friend recently sent me an email
about the brain. Do you know the brain is a muscle? I used to think that it was
just a matter of getting the blood to the right connectors in the brain. The
point of the article was that we have to exercise this muscle just like the pro
athletes exercise their muscles. If we need an added advantage there are pills
that can help. Anderson Cooper suggests Quick Mind Formula which is a Stephen
Hawking product. Good luck.
Don' t forget the Stag luncheon
Thursday October 12 at Tavistock Country Club. Paul Wiedeman will be talking
about the success of the Haddonfield basketball team. Bring a friend as our
membership chairman is always looking for new contacts.
Volunteers are needed for our table at
the Fall Festival on Saturday October 14, from 10 AM to 4 PM. We are part of
the Haddonfield community and welcome new members.
Cheers, Henry

Volunteers
needed for the 5K Heart Run in December
As you know,
the 65 Club has provided traffic marshals for the 5K Heart Run for Many years.
We will be doing the same again this December. Rather than Ron Howley calling
everyone to sign up marshals, please give him a call if you are able to support
the activity this year. It isn’t difficult, sometimes a little chilly, but it
is a good cause. No runner has ever been hit by a car since we have provided
the marshals. Ron can be reached at 428-0191. Your call would be a big help.
A History Lesson About the Price of Freedom
Have you ever wondered what
happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by
the British as traitors and tortured before they died. The homes of 12
were ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons who served in the
Revolutionary Army. Another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56
fought and died from wounds or hardships during the Revolutionary War.
They pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were
they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were
merchants. Nine were farmers and plantation owners. All were men of
means and well educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing that the penalty if they were captured would be death.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a
wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British
navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKean was so hounded
by the British that he was forced to move his family constantly. He
served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding.
His possessions were taken, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the
properties of William Ellery, Lyman Hall, George Clymer, George Walton, Button
Gwinnet, Thomas Heyward Jr.,
Edward Rutledge and Arthur Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas
Nelson Jr. noted that British Gen. Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home
for his headquarters. He quietly urged Gen. Washington to open
fire. The home was destroyed and Nelson died bankrupt.
The home of Francis Lewis was
destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from the
bedside of his dying wife. Their 13 children fled for their lives.
His fields and gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year, he
lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children gone. He died shortly thereafter, heartbroken. Robert
Morris and Philip Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and
sacrifices of the American Revolution. They were not wild-eyed,
rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and
education. They had security, but they valued liberty more.
Standing tall, straight and unwavering, they vowed "for the support of
this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the divine
Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our
Sacred Honor." They gave us a free and independent America.
The history books never tell us much of what happened in the Revolutionary
War. We were British subjects at the time, and we fought against our own
government. Too often, we now take these liberties for granted. So, take
a few minutes and silently thank these patriots for their heroic contributions.
Freedom is never free.

Activities
Bowling
We have an average of 8 men bowling on Friday mornings. We take up two
lanes but if you come out, we can take up more lanes and have more fun. So how
about it, come on out and join us for three games, shoes, bowling ball, Danish,
coffee, tea and good fellowship. And guess what? It only costs $6.55 for all
that fun and games. We will begin posting averages next month for the
tournament season.
NOTE: Female bowlers are welcome to
join us Friday morning, contact Sally Howley at 856-428-0191, for details.
