GCF Bank employee Tracy O'Connell and husband Joe are organizers of the 7th Annual Abbington Lane and Albert Court National Night Out (NNO) in the Wedgwood section of Washington Township. The event is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
GCF Bank donated a $500 check each to the Washington Township Police Dept. and their Fire Dept.
The event featured talks and demonstrations on crime and safety by members of the WT Police Dept. Also participating were representatives from the WT Ambulance Assoc., the WT Police Dept. K-9 Unit, Gloucester Co. SWAT Team, NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and Gloucester Co. Sheriff's Dept.
