SNAPSHOT
The Haddonfield 65 Club is a social club for male Haddonfield residents, regardless of age, who are retired from their regular vocation.

FOUNDING
In 1954, Haddonfield resident Wallace J. Ross proposed that a Borough-owned polling place at 110 Rhoads Avenue could be used year-round as the headquarters for a retired men's club. On January 18, 1955, the commissioners adopted a resolution permitting such a use. The Haddonfield 65 Club, Inc. was incorporated on March 11, 1955, with 38 charter members.
