On Wednesday, October 22, Main Street Vineland will host its annual A Taste of Vineland &
Volunteer Recognition Event to honor our dedicated volunteers and partners. This year, we’re
thrilled to recognize Nancy Nordberg as our Volunteer of the Year. The event, which takes
place from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Greenview Inn at Eastlyn Golf Course, will feature delicious dishes
from Vineland’s top restaurants and a fabulous silent auction.
A lifelong Vineland resident and a 1974 graduate of Vineland High School, Nancy retired after a
successful career as a Purchasing/Materials Manager. In recent years, she has become an
invaluable part of Main Street Vineland.
Many years ago, Nancy could be found cruising Landis Avenue in her 1957 Chevy Belair. Her
love for cars led her to join the South Jersey Mustang Club in 1994, along with her husband
Victor, where she soon became an officer. Since 2012, she’s been an active member of the annual
Cruise Down Memory Lane.
Nancy’s commitment to our community extends beyond cars. She’s also a passionate gardener
and an officer of the Delaware Valley Daylily Society. This passion has been a perfect match for
her work with Main Street Vineland. Each spring, you can find Nancy, alongside fellow
volunteer and honoree, Donata Dalesandro, planting flowers throughout The Ave.
Nancy’s dedication has also been vital to other key events. Along with her Cruise comrade, Dave
Cardona, she has taken on an active role in running Vineland’s annual Christmas Parade. When
she’s not helping Main Street, she also volunteers at the South Vineland Methodist Church and
sings with the Millville Women’s Club Choir.
Main Street Vineland Executive Director Russell Swanson shared his excitement about the
event. “Beyond the great food from over 20 area restaurants,” he said, “this event is the one time
we get to publicly acknowledge the wonderful efforts and work of our valued volunteers.”
