At 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 17th, at the POW/MIA Remembrance Service took place at Grace Episcopal Church. Members of F.W. Grigg Post 68 and Scout Troop 119 remembered the thousands of service men and women who never returned home or are still missing and scout Meredith had the honor of carrying the POW/MIA flag. This event was hosted by the Merchantville American Legion Post 68 in conjunction with the Camden County American Legion committee. During the service the flag and its meaning were explained, a missing man table service was preformed and all that attended were given an opportunity to hold the flag. Afterwards, Merchantville Scout Troop 119 installed the flag on the church's flag pole.

Not one but two celebrations took place before and during Merchantville's Borough Council meeting on August 8th. First, a thank you, farewell and well-wishes were offered to Halil Gungor, proprietor of the Blue Monkey Tavern. He was presented and the "Keys to the City" in recognition of 18 years of service and memories. Next, the Borough recognized Sophia Bordi on her stellar freshman year leading the Haddon Heights Lady Garnets Softball team through a fantastic season that included numerous shut outs and taking home the State Championship and Tournament of Champions! Sophia is recognized across the country for her phenomenal skills both as a pitcher and behind the plate. Congratulations were shared with both.
