Many South Jersey families have concerns about the current H1N1 (Swine Flu) outbreak and what they can do in their homes and communities to stay healthy and avoid catching the flu. The following page has important health information, resources and best practices for protecting your family.

I am pleased to announce that the Second Congressional District of New Jersey will be participating in the 28th Congressional Art Competition. The contest, called “An Artistic Discovery,” provides an excellent opportunity to encourage and recognize the rich artistic talents of high school students.

The winning entry from our area will be displayed as part of the national exhibition in the Cannon Tunnel leading to the U.S. Capitol starting with an Opening Exhibition on June 24, 2009. In addition, the second place artwork will be displayed in my Washington, D.C. office and the third place artwork will be displayed in my Mays Landing office.

Teachers or students are responsible for calling to make arrangements to get their artwork picked up or delivered no later than Friday, April 24, 2009.

Judging will take place and the three winners will be announced on Friday, May 15, 2009 at 7:00 P.M. at Ivy League Mortgage at the Cornerstone Commerce Center, 1201 New Road, Suite 140, Linwood.

To make arrangements for artwork delivery, inquire about entry forms or copyright laws, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Linda Hinckley in my Mays Landing office at 1-800-471-4450.
