Summeris right around the corner and Voorhees Township will once again offer the opportunity to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The Voorhees Township Committee looks forward to the summer of 2024 and our 20th Annual Summer Concert Series to be held on the “Great Lawn” at Connolly Park. We are excited to present another fun-filled summer of free entertainment.

All shows are free and start at 7:30pm.

The first show is on Thursday, June 20, and will feature The Pour Boys 80’s Cover Band.

The second show is on Thursday, July 18, featuring Parrot Beach – Jimmy Buffet Tribute.

The band will have you singing, laughing and dancing. Whether you are a Parrot Head or just a beach lover, bring your family in for the time of your life. Doing the best of Jimmy Buffett along with your all-time favorite island tunes, Parrot Beach will take you back to that unforgettable island vacation. Parrot Beach is one of the few full time Buffett bands.

On Thursday, Aug. 15, the Beat Tells will greet the audience with their traditional Tribute to the Beatles. The band offers a first-class performance of Beatles music with all of the bells and whistles – the songs you loved, played the way they were played in original costumes using original gear with Liverpudlian glee. Relive the wonder, excitement and great fun of one of the most iconic bands in history.

In Voorhees Township, we acknowledge our differences, we embrace our differences and we celebrate our differences until differences make no difference at all.

In 2007, the Voorhees Township Committee established the Citizens Cultural and Diversity Advisory Committee to recognize and promote racial, ethnic and cultural diversity in our community. Voorhees was the first community in South Jersey to establish such an important group.

The Diversity Committee fosters community relations, encouragement of greater respect and understanding between people, recognition of racial, ethnic, religious and cultural diversity, and promotion of tolerance and mutual respect among neighbors.

The Committee is empowered to provide a forum that will encourage input from our culturally diverse citizen groups and, to that end, hosts monthly meetings on the first Monday of each month at Town Hall, attended by Committeeperson and liaison Jackie Fetbroyt, who reports between the VCDC and the Township. The VCDC also seeks ways to advocate and assist in the development of continuing education programs and outreach to the community to place the issue of diversity before our citizens in a positive manner.

Last year, the VCDC hosted several speakers and a very important and timely forum to encourage communication and information exchange regarding the Israel-Hamas War, enjoyed a potluck dinner, and participated in a variety of town-sponsored events such as the Holiday Tree Lighting and National Night Out. The VCDC hosted International Day in October, with over 500 attendees, cultural performances, ethnic food, vendors and crafts.

The Education Outreach Subcommittee was formed and collaborates with our Voorhees schools. The VCDC also offered four scholarships to Eastern Regional High School seniors.

This year, the VCDC is expanding its education outreach and working with local students to collaborate on International Day and other events. It plans to host Voorhees’ first Juneteenth celebration on June 15, and other panels and events, including trips to historical sites and museums such as the Holocaust Museum, the Peter Mott Underground Railroad Museum and the newly built BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Robbinsville.  The VCDC is especially excited to launch its own Facebook social media page to provide information to our community and reach even more people.  For more information, contact Chairperson Stephanie Fisher at (609)841-2727.

Voorhees Township has an ordinance that prohibits smoking, vaping and all electronic smoking devices on all Township owned land. Although cannabis usage is now legal, this ordinance includes the prohibition of smoking cannabis on all Township owned property.

Studies have shown that breathing environmental tobacco smoke is a significant health hazard for children, the elderly, and individuals with cardiovascular disease, impaired respiratory function and asthma. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS), a class A carcinogen. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, SHS aggravates and increases the risk of chronic diseases including asthma, allergies, heart disease, pneumonia, emphysema, lung cancer, chronic bronchitis and diabetes.Secondhand smoke causes nearly 34,000 premature deaths from heart disease each year in the United States among adults who do not smoke.

The Township Committee believes that the general health and well-being of our residents is a top priority and this prohibition benefits everyone. It is in our best interest to refer to all Township owned land as “Smoke Free Zones.”

The ordinance bans smoking within the boundaries of any Voorhees Township owned land or any property which is owned, maintained or in the possession of the Township, including all parks, playgrounds, active and passive recreational facilities, the Municipal Complex, Police Department, Fire Department and the Department of Public Works.  Any person found to be in violation of this ordinance will be issued a Summons and subject to a fine of $100 to $150 for the first offense, $150 to $250 for the second offense and $300 to $500 for any subsequent offense.

This smoking ban covers all parks, including Connolly Park, Giangiulio Sports Complex, Maiaroto Sports Complex, Rabinowitz Sports Complex, Lions Lake Complex, Kirkwood Sports Park, John Hale Memorial Park, Lake Villa Playground, Round Hill Road Playground, Sandpiper Drive Playground, Sheppard Road Basketball Courts, Stafford Woods and the open space portion of the Stafford Farm.

Voorhees is proud to join communities throughout the state and nation in instituting such a ban to protect the health of our families.
