It’s been a quiet week around campus with the snow, but I wanted to be sure to pass along this wonderful opportunity:

LAEDA is hosting Dine Around Friday at Old San Juan Restaurant, Friday December 13, 2013 at 12:30pm. Help support Camden Small Businesses by patronizing the cities authentic ethnic food offerings. This month’s event features Old San Juan Restaurant – Puerto Rican Cuisine on Marlton Ave. in East Camden. Arrive early for the best seating. For more information click here or call 856-338-1177.

A few weeks ago in my Local Knowledge class a guest spoke about the historical power of buying local. She argued that this was both an economic tool and a way to have your voice heard. 

One thing I constantly hear when I talk about Camden is about historical roots to the city. So much of the South Jersey area is populated by families that have roots in Camden and generally have good will towards the city. LAEDA has given an opportunity to turn that goodwill into simple, powerful and economic action.
