Hall Rentals

The George Ruch Community Center is located at 2201 Highland Ave in the Victory Lakes community. This building was previously owned by the Victory Lakes Association and was a cornerstone of the community.   It was transferred to another organization, then to Monroe Township, and subsequently to FVLA in March 2017.  The building is named after George Ruch, a Victory Lakes resident who was very involved and loved by the community.  George served in the army during the Korean war.  He graduated from Villanova University with a BA in Education, and then went on to receive a master’s degree in administration from Rutgers.  He was an accounting teacher at WHS and then became an assistant principal there for many years.  He really cared about the students, and many residents have fond memories of him buying them ice cream and being there for them.   While working for the schools, he also volunteered at the Cecil Fire Co. as fire police and treasurer.  In addition to these amazing accomplishments, he was also the trustee of the Republican club and served as mayor of Monroe Township at one time.  We are honored to have a building named after him that is utilized to support our fundraising efforts to raise money for payments towards our dam restoration project (a cost of over $800,000 to our community), as well as other operational expenses to maintain our lakes and its surrounding property.  This hall is available to external renters and community for personal rental and recreational activities and will be a continued location for our membership and board meetings.
