The Woodlynne Town Tree Lighting was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season. It was heartwarming to see so many people come out despite the chilly weather. The Woodlynne Choir, together with the incredibly talented Collingswood High School Madrigals, moved us to tears and filled the night with warmth and joy. The tree, decorated with so much care and love, stood as a beautiful reminder of what a community can accomplish together.
Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful holiday season!
