Safety Town

Softball Clinic
West Deptford High School softball coach Amanda Schramm will run two sessions for girls who want to learn about the game. Beginners can come from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and advanced players are invited to visit from 12:30 to 3 p.m. E-mail Coach Schramm at aschramm@wdeptford.k12.nj.us.

The Sky is Pink
The Food and Water Watch group is screening The Sky is Pink in Glassboro on Wednesday. The film, which describes itself as "an emergency short film...addressing the urgent crisis of drilling and fracking in New York state," was made by Josh Fox, the Oscar-nominated director of Gasland. The short will be followed by a community action meeting.

Outdoor Concert with Blue Frances
The Woodbury Public Library will host its acoustic footnotes concert series outside in the City Hall courtyard on Thursday at 7 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair.

Deptford Mall Music Saves Lives Blood Drive
On Friday, music fans who show up to the Deptford Mall parking lot can get a little closer to their favorite acts on the Vans Warped Tour this summer. Everyone who presents to donate will receive a voucher for special meet-and-greets at any Warped Tour concert date.
