On April 17 at 7 pm, Toby Zinman returns to discuss the Lost City of Z by David Grann. This huge best seller in 2009 is about Grann's obsession with early 20th century expeditions into the Brazilian Amazon by the legendary British explorer Percy Fawcett who was looking for a lost civilization in the jungle. Fawcett never returned and Grann (a writer for the New Yorker and an unlikely adventurer) sets out to find out what happened to them and to the City of Z.  The New York Times review said it reads with all the pace and excitement of a movie thriller. Toby Zinman, who has just returned from her second trip to the Amazon, will lecture on the book-it's not necessary to have read it to join us.   Dr. Zinman is the Philadelphia Inquirer Theatre Critic. She is also a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. A question and answer session will follow. 
 All programs are free and co-sponsored by the Haddonfield Friends of the Library. Call 429-1304 to register.

TheHaddonfieldUnitedMethodistChurch, since its inception in 1829, has grown from a gathering of a few in the Grove Schoolhouse to a congregation of over 2000 in our fifth and present home at29 Warwick Road. Our members come from 57 towns inSouth Jersey. We have survived an earthquake and several fires, yet after each disaster we emerge stronger than before. We are a big church with a small church friendliness. We sponsor activities for all ages and have dozens of ways of serving from missions, ministries, choirs, small group study, and more. Our new addition was completed in 2008 and has enabled us to expand our ministry with new classrooms for Christian education, a beautiful music suite and new reception and welcome center. In 2009 we celebrated more than 180 years of Christian fellowship and worshipping God in the Methodist tradition established by John Wesley over 250 years ago. Because we believe that one size doesn't fit all, HUMC provides four Worship Services each weekend.

• Sundays at 8 a.m. in the chapel (traditional service)
• Sundays at 9 a.m. in the sanctuary (contemporary service)

Although we have not seen too many snowflakes this year, it does not mean that winter is over and spring is upon us. But members of The Haddon Fortnightly are thinking ahead to spring and our annual Home and Garden Tour on Friday, May 4, 2012 from 10 am to 8 pm.

If you (or someone you know) would like us to consider your home, garden, or both for the tour, we would be delighted to take a peek to see if you would open your hearts - and homes - to help support The Haddon Fortnightly, a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women's Club. The tour is our biggest fundraiser, attracting visitors from all over South Jersey. You may open just your garden or home if you prefer. In your home, our volunteers guide viewers through the areas you wish to open to the public.

Give it some thought and call Joan, 858-1199. We would love to help you show your decorating expertise, collections, or unique garden plantings.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF HADDONFIELD - GREENFIELD HALL

 

Greenfield Hall was built in 1841 by John Gill IV on property which had been in his family since the early 1700's. The first John Gill had purchased the land from his cousin, Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh, founder of the town, and had erected a farmhouse to the rear of the present structure. John Gill II built another house to replace the farmhouse. This second house served as the Gill residence for the next hundred years until John Gill IV had it razed in order to build a new and grander mansion in anticipation of his second marriage to Elizabeth French of Moorestown, NJ.

Today Greenfield Hall is furnished much as it would have been when the Gills were in residence and contains collections of furniture, needlework, dolls, tool, costumes and early glass and pottery. Next door is the Samuel Mickle House, also known as the Hip Roof House, the oldest house still standing in town. It serves as the Society's research library, open to the public for research purposes. The library is open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 and on the first Sunday afternoon of each month from 1 to 3. Special appointments may also be made for the library by calling 856-429-7375.

Books and pamphlets have been produced by the Society throughout the years and its Bulletin, published for times a year, contains not only news of the organization bat also interesting accounts of past events and people who lived in the area. Exhibits, special events, celebrations and fundraising activities are held in the mansion during the year.

Both Greenfield Hall and the Samuel Mickle House are included in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places a well as in the National Register.

Creative Vision Photography Workshop Saturday, May 19 12:30- 4:30pm
We have all heard, Cameras don't make pictures, it's the eye behind the lens! So true, but understanding the basic workings of a camera goes a long way to helping you make better photographs. Whether you are using a point-and-shoot camera or a DSLR, this workshop focuses on camera basics, advancing your intuitive vision and the simple art of layering photographs for a more expressive image.
What You Will Learn: We will focus on a number of techniques to help you create great images including: Learning to See: Deborah is a certified Yoga instructor, bringing her intuitive instruction to the classroom. We have to listen to the whispers, to connect with your personal muse. I will teach you how to use the language of intuition to gain personal confidence while honing your aesthetic and creative eye.
Basic Camera Function: Through illustrated presentations, Chris will teach the technical essentials of aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings. My objective is to provide experienced technical instruction using either your camera or basic computer software. You will gain confidence and increased skills to creatively pursue your photography passion. Layering Techniques and Simple Software Fundamentals: You may have seen photographs that border on fine art. Is it a photo or a painting? Deborah has established herself as an innovator of what she terms Fauxtography, the art of creating layered photographs that resemble fine art. I am excited to show you techniques of layering photographs to create artful images. We will concentrate on simple software, so only basic computer knowledge is required. There is a $60 per person fee for this workshop, and it is open to teens and adults.
