Woman Two Thousand One, a community organization committed to positive change in the City of Camden will honor Freeholder Riletta Cream for her lifetime of public service to city residents as both an educator and an elected official.

“She has been a force for good in the community for a long time,” said Ms. Evelyn Morton, president of the Women Two Thousand and One and resident of the city’s Parkside section. She said the organization is comprised of women dedicated to bringing about positive change in Camden, especially within the educational and political processes.

Ms. Morton cited Ms. Cream’s many years of service as a teacher and administrator, culminating in her tenure as principal of Camden High School in the 1970s and 1980s.

A Camden native now living in Winslow Township, Ms. Cream joined the Board of Freeholders in 1994, several years after she retired from her storied career in public education. She was reelected to another three-year term last Nov. 4.

In addition to honoring Ms. Cream, Ms. Morton said the group also will honor Donald “Ducky” Birts, a businessman and philanthropist, and Ms. Hazel Nimmo, also a former educator and former “First Lady” of the Tenth Street Baptist Church. The honors will be bestowed during the organization’s 11th annual jazz brunch on Dec. 6 at Aulettos Catering in Almonesson. Tickets, at $40, are available by calling 856 541 6273
