The meeting began with a presentation by David Hunter on his new endeavor called HaddonfieldSOUP. This is a twist on websites in that all members of the website, whether individuals, businesses, community organizations or the Borough can post information of their choosing on the site. Business and organization members pay $25/ month while individuals ay $25/ year. It’s an interesting concept that only time will tell if successful.
