Pennsauken mayor kicks off senior spring fling and announces summer programs

The mayor opened Pennsauken Township's annual spring fling for seniors on a hot afternoon, welcoming attendees and encouraging them to stay active. The mayor, who did not state a first name in the transcript, said, "a body of motion stays in motion," and thanked volunteers and staff for organizing the event.

Committee woman Roberts, introduced by the mayor and identified only by the transcript as "Roberts," announced the township's summer senior programs and the sign-up process. "June 1 is when you can start to contact them," Roberts said, and added that "that voice mail is your RSVP. You do not have to call back." Roberts listed the programs and dates: the summer dance program runs June 23 through July 28; summer aqua aerobics runs July 8 through August 12; and summer chair aerobics runs August 3 through August 31. She urged attendees to contact the senior services liaisons, Amy or Pam, to register.

The mayor also acknowledged volunteers by name, thanking Barbara Capaldi and Adrian for hosting, and singled out an intern identified as UJ who assists at Clarkson Recreation events. The mayor asked attendees to greet a sergeant and representatives from K9 West who regularly attend township events.

Organizers emphasized that the summer programs are free and encouraged seniors to participate and spread the word. The event closed with reminders to stay hydrated on the hot day and to sign up through the liaisons beginning June 1. No formal actions or votes were recorded in the transcript.

The township did not provide further details in the transcript about program fees, eligibility criteria, or locations for each class; those details were not specified.
