Fundraisers, Second Saturday: 5 Things for This Week

1. Borough Commissioners Meeting

Monday, May 6 at 7 p.m.—Collingswood Community Center

The last monthly meeting of the local borough government before the May 14 elections. Those in attendance can likely expect some discussion on the introduction of the borough budget, which Mayor James Maley announced last week would likely be delayed because of a shift in employee healthcare plans. Bring your questions and your neighbors.

2. First Tuesday Fundraiser for the Holiday Parade

Tuesday, May 7, 4 to 10 p.m.—Tortilla Press and Tortilla Press Cantina

Dine out at either of Mark Smith's Tortilla Press locations on the first Tuesday of every month and 15 percent of your bill will go to benefit the Collingswood Holiday Parade.

3. "This is My Song" - Collingswood Community Chorus Concert

Tuesday, May 7, at 7:28 p.m.—Scottish Rite Auditorium

"Selections explore various types of human relationships from the light-hearted and personal in "Hey, Good Lookin'" to the more serious and universal "Heaven Help Us All". Styles range from Gershwin's wistfully sweet "Someone to Watch Over Me" to Broadway's "All that Jazz", from country to the pop music of several decades.

"Admission is free, no tickets are required. For directions or more information, call 856-854-6024."
