During the last four weeks, Big Brother in Camden has taken note of 624 vehicles whose occupants did something suspicious near one of the city's busiest open-air drug markets, Sixth and York Streets. The owners of these vehicles will receive letters next week warning them that their vehicles were seen by the city's Eye in the Sky surveillance network in the high-crime and drug-trafficking area. The project has confirmed what city officials have been hearing from residents for a long time: Camden's drug and crime issues are not insulated city problems. Out of the 624 letters going out (205 are repeat offenders), 90 percent are going to residents of suburban communities, Cherry Hill and Sewell being the most common destinations. http://bit.ly/zfCOU4

Prom night is not only one of the most important social events of the school year, it is also one of the most expensive. To ensure no girl goes without a dress for the prom, the Osborn Family Health Center, Brimm Medical Arts High School, is sponsoring a Prom Gown Drive. If you have a gently used gown in your closet just collecting dust, you can put that gown to good use by donating it. All donated prom gowns will be distributed to the young women of Brimm Medical Arts High School in Camden. Clean, wearable gowns, dressy cocktail-length dresses and prom accessories such as handbags, shoes and jewelry will be collected throughout the months of February and March. Donations may be dropped off at the Osborn Family Health Center located directly across the street from Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center at 1601 Haddon Avenue, Camden, NJ 08103.
