Three cheers for the Skylights
All Star-One Skylights lit up the competition at the Cheersport Cheerleading Nationals 9 Feb. 14-15 at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The Skylights, a senior level 3 team, was one of five teams from All Star-One in Egg Harbor Township that competed at the largest cheerleading and dance championship. The Skylights won third place in their division.

Enjoying southern hospitality
Traveling together to Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C., are Harriet Bank of Cherry Hill, and Dolores DeFelice and Marie Meloni of Village Grande at English Mill in Egg Harbor Township. They had fun on a visit to Paula Deen’s the Lady and Sons Restaurant in Savannah and meeting her sons. And they said the southern-fried chicken in Charleston at Oprah’s favorite restaurant will be remembered.
 

The Wildwood Leader enjoyed some good old Southern SEC University of Georgia football as Wildwood locals Brad and Jennifer Vogdes joined John and Vicki Lynch and many of John’s family, friends and Chi Psi fraternity brothers for a tailgate party (photo above) and some football between the hedges with 92,275 screaming UGA fans in Stanford Stadium. To their dismay the DAWGS lost, but the Lynches and Vogdes had a great time visiting the Athens and Atlanta area.

Masters of celebrity sighting

Gene and Bonnie McCann along with Chas and Terry Honeker of Blue Heron Pines, Galloway Township, were lucky enough to attend practice rounds at the Masters in Augusta, Ga., in April.  This photo was taken in front of the pristine and infamous clubhouse.  They were able to see major players such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods. The weather cooperated and they enjoyed 80-degree temperatures while there.
