On Monday, June 21st, Councilman Lynn Jeney, Councilwoman Parejo, and I were honored to be invited to the Delran Police Department’s 2021 Award Ceremony. It was a great opportunity to show our support for the police and to see them honor one another for their outstanding accomplishments over the last year. In my continued effort to support the Delran Police Department’s inclusive, equitable and positive engagement with our community, I also presented an award for the first time.
After an already distinguished career in public service; from the Delran Emergency Squad to the Delran Fire Department, to law enforcement; Patrolman Michael Lynch contributes in a profound way to the positive impact that the Delran Police Department has on our entire Delran family. Patrolman Lynch has spent his entire career dedicating himself to this community.
When he transferred from the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department to our police department in April of 2020, Patrolman Lynch brought an aspirational level of community outreach experience and training with him to serve our residents.
It was my honor to present him with the first-ever Mayor’s Award – “For consistently demonstrating dedication and service to the community, and for improving outreach and engagement between the Police and the people of Delran.”
I would like to invite Delran residents to join us in congratulating the following officers who received awards:
Patrolman Michael Lynch
Detective Robert Fisher
Patrolman Steve Wallis
We are so #DelranProud of all of them.

As some residents may already have heard, I have been working with Congressman Andy Kim and Councilwoman Virginia Parejo to bring a Vaccine Pop-Up Clinic to Delran. I am excited to announce that we will hold two Delran Vaccine Pop-Up Clinic Events at Calvary Church next month.
This will allow easy access for Delran residents as well as others in the surrounding river towns who have been unable to get a vaccine.
The First Doses of the Pfizer vaccine will be available June 4th and 7th from 9 am-3 pm. Second Doses ONLY will be given June 25th and 28th.
We were lucky enough to be a part of Congressman Kim’s partnership with Rite Aid, which allowed us to choose the Pfizer vaccine, which is now available for everyone age 12 and up!
This is a great opportunity for the children in our community to get vaccinated before school lets out and summer camps and vacations begin!
I am also grateful to Delran School’s Superintendent Dr. Brostchul, who has offered to assist us in providing transportation options to residents who have been unable to get vaccinated due to being housebound.
Additionally, refreshments will be provided by some of our local businesses on these dates. Congressman Andy Kim as well as members of the Delran Township Police Department, Delran Fire Department, Delran Emergency Squad will all be there to welcome vaccine recipients!
For registration or transportation assistance, please call 856-393-7973
If you want to register without assistance, please visit:https://riteaid.reportsonline.com/rsched/program/CC2021
I look forward to seeing you, and everyone who wants the vaccine, get it right here in Delran.

April 12th marked the first 100 days for Councilman Lynn Jeney, and for Council President Tyler Burrell and myself in our new positions. Together with the rest of the Council, we have been pushing an aggressive agenda. Tyler has been focusing on the legislative agenda and I am working to further improve resident services. Together, we are aiming to improve how we communicate, what we say, and when this all happens.
Typically, government moves at a glacial pace, but when everyone works together toward the same positive goals, we get to see more immediate results. These are just some of the things we’ve already been able to do because of all the dedicated and talented people that surround me.
Communication
Legislation
Supporting Those Who Protect Us
Working Together
In cooperation with Council, I have worked with and supported their decisions to:
I look forward to continuing the fast paced momentum of our first 100 days as we move Delran into an even better future. This is just a preview for a few things coming next:
Recreation and Sports
Commercial Redevelopment
Finally, despite the pandemic, I have been fortunate to meet with many residents in person over the last few months to talk about the things that are most important to them in our community. I really enjoy that time. I hope that we will be able to meet in larger groups soon.
In the meantime, I want you all to know that if there is anything anyone in our Delran family needs, I will do everything possible to ALWAYS be available.
I also want to thank the Council and our staff for all the work they do every day. None of what’s happening would be possible without their hard work. We are so fortunate to have so many dedicated people working for our Delran community.
Best,
Gary Catrambone
Mayor
