*Gloucester City St. Patrick\’s Parade, Sunday, March 1
GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ– The NJ Irish Society presents events and initiatives year-round as part of paying tribute to our strong history of tradition. Based in the heart of Gloucester City, NJ Irish Society was formally founded in 2019 after serving the community as a whole for decades, with our event roster featuring the sensational

The New Jersey Irish Society is vested in sustaining a vibrant community with excellent quality of life for the residents and visitors.

That tradition continues today with the City ranking 9th in the nation for Irish American population.
The New Jersey Irish Society is working closely with the City of Gloucester, Camden County, area businesses, community groups and residents to keep these traditions alive in our community. \”We began in 2016 with our inaugural St. Patrick’s Day parade, which brought thousands to the City and its businesses to celebrate the holiday. We are thrilled to be celebrating our 5th Anniversary as South Jersey’s not-to-be-missed parade extravaganza, featuring the best in entertainment!\”

St. Mary\’s Parish Secretary Dan Spencer Resigning
by CNBNews Staff
GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (February 10, 2020)—St. Mary\’s Parish Secretary Dan Spencer will be stepping down from his position on April 9 after serving in that capacity for the past 2.5
years.
When asked about a rumor that he was resigning from his mayor position he laughed. \”No, I am resigning from my full-time job as a parish secretary. It is just too much juggling that job with the mayor\’s position. I am going to do some part-time work and focus more time on being mayor. The new parish community center (next to the rectory) will be opening in April and I felt that this was a good time to make a move. I spoke with Monsignor Hodge (pastor) about it and he understood my reasons. I will still be helping the parish in some way once a week.\”
Spencer, who was elected as mayor of Gloucester City in November 2018, began his four-year term in January 2019 succeeding Bill James.
Prior to taking over the mayor position, he was a city councilman.
Five years ago Spencer retired from his job with Camden County with 30 years of service.

Before we get started, it will be helpful to know why products like watches carry a heavy price tag. For designer watches, they usually have the same aesthetic design and procedure as the luxury watches. Although these watches are generally a little cheaper than luxury watches, they still cost more than popular brands.
How to Find Discount Luxury and Designer Watches
First of all, find online discount luxury watches and designer watches. You will find that the prices of these products are usually cheaper than brick and mortar stores. The advent of e-commerce allows online stores to buy products like watches from manufacturers. Online websites do not need to have inventory and hire workforce. In this way, the overhead of online stores is usually less. If the overhead is low, they may offer products that they sell low. Generally, products like watches are 20% to 30% cheaper online than brick and mortar stores.
Discounted watches preferences
Another way to find discount watches is to look for discount websites. Discount websites usually feature several luxury watches and designer watch vendors on their website. Because many vendors on this website are trying to sell, they usually make different offers and promotions. Discounts can vary and so you have to find the best price.
Another way to find discount luxury watches and designer watches is to research the current inventory. Some manufacturers usually change designs and offerings to get past their competitors. Then some older designs will be offered at a discount.
Trust on the online watches?
While it is possible to find these watches online, you must be careful and check the offer before making a purchase. Always keep in mind that luxury watches and designer watches are a bit expensive, if you find an offer that looks very familiar, cut it off. Remember that if the offer is not correct then it is. Similarly, you need to research the online vendor before making a purchase.
Find the maximum number of impressions to make sure you trust your money only at popular online stores. If you have the best defense against online fraudsters, you need to spend your hard earned money wisely and do your research. It is way to show your style to people and to make their attraction fantastic so trust on the watches are now available and with the discounted rates and prices.
