West Deptford Resident Named One Of Magazine's 'Super Women'

West Deptford resident April Maska was named one of South Jersey Magazine's 29 "Super Women."

According to the magazine:

"From philanthropic business leaders who donate and raise thousands of dollars for worthy causes, to those who demonstrate tremendous civic pride in an effort to better our local communities, we are surrounded by wonderful ladies deserving of the recognition they’d never ask for."

The magazine also spoke about Maska:

"Maska took an interest in community involvement as a teenager when she joined the Girl Scouts and the Sea Scouts, a division of Boy Scouting. Committed to providing the same experiences she had as a youth to those who have come after her, she is still a part of the Girl Scouts today.

"In fact, girls in South Jersey have Maska to thank for the Hessian Woods Girl Scout Camporee, which she founded in 1984, and is now in its 29th year. She also started the first Daisy Troop of Gloucester County when her daughter was old enough to join the organization but could not because there was not a troop in the area.

"A school teacher for the past 23 years, Maska is also co-founder and co-president of the West Deptford Historical Association, president of the West Deptford Free Public Library Board of Trustees, and chairwoman of the Gloucester County Juvenile Conference Committee, as well as co-author of the West Deptford history book from Arcadia Publishing."
