Weekly Roundup: Plenty of opportunities to help out fellow community members in Voorhees

Join the March of Dimes to help premature babies

“For those who might not know, our sweet girl Isabella was born at 33 weeks,” Juliana Cardillo wrote on Facebook.

Isabella was born at only 15 inches long, and weighed 2 pounds and 10 ounces. She had an intrauterine growth restriction, a condition in which a baby does not grow to normal weight during pregnancy.

Cardillo said she knew it would be a high-risk pregnancy due to her being diagnosed with preeclampsia. She said she made daily visits to the doctor. She was in the hospital for a month before delivering Isabella.

Now, Cardillo is trying to give back to the organization that saved her baby’s life. Join Cardillo at the March of Dimes walk on April 30 to get involved.

Mayor’s column: Project SARAH educates students about sexual assault

On May 1 at 7 p.m. at the Katz JCC social hall, 1301 Springdale Road in Chery Hill, the JFCS Project SARAH (Stop Abusive Relationships at Home) Program is offering a free presentation of “Protect U and Yours: Keeping Your Children Safe from College Campus Assault.”

If you have a son or daughter attending college, if you have a friend or relative with a child in college or if you are visiting colleges and trying to figure out which college is the best and safest fit for your child, this program is essential. Staying safe is an ongoing discussion in which parents and students should be engaged.
