Mayor's Message
Mayor's Monthly Message - November 2024
On November 11th, we celebrated
and honored our Veterans. These men and
women are our true heroes, It’s important that we honor
our Veterans, not just on November 11, but on any day of the year. Most of all,
let our Veterans know how much they mean to you.
Thanksgiving,
November 28th, a day in which we give thanks, also begins the unofficial start
of the holiday season. Deptford Township has many things to be thankful for in
our community this time of year. We are the center of shopping, dining and
entertainment! Santa will arrive at the
Deptford Mall Saturday, November 16th at 10:45 a.m. for a parade. Mark
your calendars and bring the family and remember to “shop local” during the holiday season. Let’s continue to support Deptford
businesses, who in turn help keep our tax rate down.
Our Fall Leaf Collection
Schedule for 2024 is available online under the Public Works Section. Public
Works crews have started picking up leaves throughout town. Reminder, each
section of town is scheduled by zones, so please check your zoned area for leaf
pickup. As always, we ask for your help and to please not rake your leaves in
the middle of the street, as this is dangerous and counterproductive for our Public
Works crews. Place branches in piles separately so the vacuum trucks will not
get clogged. We thank you for your cooperation and patience.
Keep an eye out for
upcoming Youth Recreation registrations/signups on social media for Deptford
Basketball, Softball, Soccer, Little League, Football and Cheerleading, Oak
Valley Athletic Association, (baseball, softball, basketball) Wrestling, Cub
Scouts and Boy and Girl Scouts. These organizations
are great for building friendships, team spirit and just enjoying what our Town
and volunteers offer our youth.
Pickleball is now indoors
at the Recreation Center located at 52 Montague Lane. Our pickleball is one of the fastest growing
sports and we have moved inside for the winter.
Come join our team and learn to play this great activity, just contact
the Recreation Department. Our Recreation
Department can be reached at 856-845-0804 or by email: deptfordparksandrec@deptford-nj.org for more information.
Remembering
all of our men and women in uniform, past, present and future. God bless you and thank you.
Happy
Thanksgiving to you and your Family.
