The Music Makers perform their Christmas concert Thursday.
After online voting, the Rush School Music Makers fell just short winning the semifinals of the B101 Christmas Choir Contest. Haverford Middle School edged out Cinnaminson after yesterday's voting period. The Music Maker's song, Children, Go Where I Send Thee, included an intricate two-part choral arrangement and a three-part a capella introduction. Haverford nabbed the spot with their rendition of Carol of the Bells. The Music Makers may not have tasted victory this year, but in 2011, the group took the top spot for middle schools in the NJ 101.5 Christmas Choir Contest. In 2010, the Music Makers won the B101 contest. Rush School Music Makers posted this on their Facebook page: Congratulations to Haverford Middle School. Kids, it's …

In keeping with a Moorestown holiday tradition, the Swede Run Barn will be available for families who want to use it as a backdrop for their Christmas cards. Julia Maravich, a member of the Historical Society's board of trustees, said she will arrange to have the gate opened for anyone interested in having photos taken by the barn. Contact her directly at 856-266-7607. The gate was installed when restorations began earlier this year, blocking off access to the 150-year-old structure. After running out of funds, the restoration project was briefly in limbo, until Burris Construction CEO William Burris made a $5,000 donation earlier this fall. The donation will allow supporters to finally finish the project. Maravich said the group is …

Take a cue from Irving Berlin and keep dreaming of a white Christmas, because that’s all you can do this year. If you trust the National Weather Service (and why wouldn’t you?), the best we can hope for is a wet Christmas. “It looks like for South Jersey we’re not expecting much more than rain right now (over the weekend),” said meteorologist Valerie Meola. Meola said the current forecast for Sunday calls for temperatures in the mid-30s to mid-40s, with about a 40 percent chance of rain. She said there’s a slight chance of a wintry mix overnight Saturday, “but it warms right back up … Right now we’re running much too warm (for snow).” No surprise there really. December 2011 has been somewhat unseasonably warm thus far, especially when …

Through the Jane. B. Weilenbeck Needy Family Fund, 53 township families had presents and food for the holiday.
Aleta Kee feels blessed this holiday season. Supporting four kids, while she and her husband Mark Sr. are out of work, has been a daunting task. Without the help of donations made through the Jane B. Weilenbeck Needy Family Fund, Christmas at the Kee household would have been nonexistent. "It's a struggle for us," Aleta Kee said. "I'm overjoyed. There's nothing else to say, but I'm overjoyed." Kee stopped by New Albany Elementary School last week to pick up Christmas presents for her children, and food to make a holiday dinner. Through the family fund, gifts and food were donated by students and staff throughout the district to help the township's needy families this Christmas. "My kids understand not having," Mark Kee Sr. said. "They …
