The Haddonfield Lions Club is planning to publish a book titled Haddonfield’s Citizens of the Year: The First 50 Years (1973 to 2022).
The book committee is seeking a photograph for the cover – “the iconic Haddonfield photograph”– and invites amateur and professional photographers to submit images that are instantly recognizable as being associated with Haddonfield.
