Medford’s finest 6th, 7th and 8th graders put on a fabulous production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. These incredibly talented students enchanted their audience and brought to life the Belle’s village and the castle of the beast. Hard work and enthusiasm shined through their smiles as they sang, dance, and acted. Congratulations to the cast of Beauty and the Beast on a wonderful production!

I was afforded the opportunity to photograph Volunteers of America’s Oscar Night 2010 at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia. Volunteers of America (VOA) is a humanitarian organization that provides immediate and long-term solutions to benefit individuals and families to save them from being homeless. The funds raised at Oscar Night were used to offset funds needed to secure funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. All proceeds will help support homeless families’ shelters and VOA’s campaign for homeless veterans known as “Home for the Brave.”

It was a fun-filled night with entertainment by celebrity impersonation of Prince, Cher, Liza Manelli, and Tina Turner provided by IN A MAN’S WORLD and Joan Rivers performed by Linda Axelrod. Pennsylvania’s largest winery, Chaddsford Winery provided the adult beverages as media sponsor ABC News interviewed the participants in Hollywood Oscar style.

Animal Lifeline is a small non-profit organization dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of sick, and/or injured, stray dogs and cats. Once well enough, the animals are fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, if old enough, and eventually placed in new and loving homes.
Animal Lifeline, was created by the employees of a local animal hospital in Burlington County. Even though space and finances limit them, they believe that as animal health care professionals, they not only have the opportunity, but the responsibility to help those animals that shelters might otherwise be forced to euthanize.

The photos that follow are some of the cats up for adoption. If you or someone would like to adopt one of the cats please call Vicky at (856) 983-5350. If you can’t adopt a cat at this time, please consider making a donation to this very worthwhile
cause.
