The Voorhees Business Association continues to give

In August of 1989 a small group of Voorhees business owners formed a local club to promote business in the Township. The Voorhees Business Association (VBA) was born.

The mission of the VBA is to provide a forum for businesspersons and businesses in the area to meet and to share and discuss concerns and interests of a civic, commercial, cultural, or economic nature. The VBA also seeks to facilitate a dialogue between the local business community and elected officials and to channel the energies and resources of the business community and elected officials into improving Voorhees Township.

The VBA has also partnered with our Economic Development Committee to form the Voorhees Business Retention Task Force to help our local businesses continue to thrive.

In addition to providing an opportunity to network, the VBA serves a charitable function by providing scholarship funds to Eastern Regional High School and gifts and food for needy families over the holidays.

Young entrepreneurs and professionals experience life in the real world through the “Take a Student to Work” exchange program.

Over the last year, the VBA membership has more than doubled.

The next social event will be the “3rd Annual VBA Barbecue” on Wednesday, Aug. 17 at 5:30 p.m. at the Wingate by Wyndham, 1000 Laurel Oak Road. Lunch meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at noon at Scarpinato’s Catering at the Coliseum. The next lunch meeting will be on Sept. 21 at noon.

For more information or to register for any event, call the VBA Hotline at 856–489–8511 or visit the new and improved website at www.voorheesbusinessassociation.com.

**The next free show in our “Summer Twilight Series” will be on Thursday, Aug. 18 (rain date Aug. 19) at 7:30 p.m. at Connolly Park with the first appearance of “Oh What a Night! A Musical Tribute to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.” Enjoy the hits made famous by those boys from Jersey!
