Mayor's Column



Mayor Michael R. Mignogna


The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays and was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4,000 years ago. Almost every English-speaking country in the world rings in January 1 with the familiar song "Auld Lang Syne." The tune was written by Robert Burns in the 1700's and literally means "the good old days."


It is the time for parties, parades, bowl games, and making resolutions. The Township Committee looks forward to an exciting year in 2009 and we are proud once again to display the works of our student artists in the 2009 Voorhees Township calendar. This year's theme is "Explorations in Art Voorhees Style" and has already been distributed to our residents.


We are grateful to the following student artists from Voorhees Middle School for allowing the Township to display their talents:


  • January - Lauren Pilla
  • February - Narindra Peaks
  • March - Alexandra Sobieski
  • April - Lindsey Williams
  • May - Kayla Banner
  • June - Eric Zhao
  • July - Alexandra Sobieski
  • August - Ashley Showronek
