Senior Citizen Appreciation Day Postponed
Yesterday, Pennsauken Township announced that the Senior Citizen Appreciation Day scheduled for June 8 at the Municipal Pool has been postponed to next week.
“Pennsauken Township Committee and our Parks and Recreation Department have made the decision to postpone Thursday’s Senior Citizen Appreciation Day at the Pennsauken Municipal Pool,” the Township said in an online statement. “The ongoing poor air quality issues from the Canadian wildfires prevent us from safely holding this event.”
