A Message from Mayor Susan Shin Angulo |
|
Dear Neighbor:
As we continue to gather with friends and family next week for the holidays, I want to wish you all a happy, peaceful and safe holiday. With those gatherings ahead and Covid-19 cases on the rise, it's important to take precautions to keep everyone healthy, like staying home if you feel sick and getting tested, or scheduling your vaccine or booster shot. Visit the county's vaccine website at camdencounty.com/vaccine or the state's vaccine page, covid19.nj.gov, for more information about current CDC guidance and scheduling vaccines.
If you're looking for fun outdoor activities to safely enjoy with family and friends over the holidays, don't forget to visit our brand new seasonal light display at Croft Farm. The lights are stunning, and will be on every night, starting at 4:30 p.m., through December, so make sure to check them out. Share your photos with the hashtag #IlluminateCherryHill!
Ahead of the Christmas holiday, I want to also remind residents the Cherry Hill Township Municipal Building will close at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 23. The Public Works building and recycling depot will close at 1 p.m., but phone lines will be open until 6 p.m. to assist residents. All Township municipal buildings will remain closed on Friday, December 24. Since the Christmas holiday falls on a weekend, there will be no impact to trash, recycling or yard waste collection.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
Sincerely,
Susan Shin Angulo
