Thanking Veterans For Their Service Every Day
By Bob Wagner, AAP Columnist

Leaf Collection Today, Snow Plowing Tomorrow
By Bernie Kofoet, Public Works Superintendent
Articles for All Around Pennsauken are submitted approximately three weeks prior to the publication date. It is difficult to predict what the weather will be that far ahead. Heck, many times the weather people can’t get it right a few days in advance!
