Pennsauken committee members promote Juneteenth, Play Day and senior events; swearing‑in postponed
Summary
Committee members announced community events including a May 30 Play Day for children, a Juneteenth celebration on June 13, and a Senior Appreciation Day on June 11; Committeewoman Jessica Rafay said the swearing‑in of three police officers was postponed to June 4.
During committee comments at the May 7 meeting, committee members moved from formal business to community announcements.
Committeewoman Jessica Rafay (Safety Director) said the planned swearing‑in of three police officers was postponed because key elected officials were not available; the new date is June 4. Rafay also announced a Senior Appreciation Day on June 11 (time to be announced) and described a Pennsauken Play Day for children 12 and under scheduled for Saturday, May 30 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Welcome Home Jake's Place, 2400 Merchantville Avenue. "It's going to be from 12 to 3... it's for kids 12 and under only," Rafay said.
Another committee member announced Pennsauken's first Juneteenth event on June 13 from noon to 2 p.m. and asked vendors to contact Juan Vasquez (extension 1420) to participate. The chair closed the meeting by reminding residents to consult the township's weekly newsletter for event and summer‑camp registration details, including a robotics camp and a junior fire/EMS academy that often fills quickly.
These announcements are informational; no formal committee votes were taken on the events during the meeting.
