Do you want to get involved with the Township?  We are always looking for people who would like to join our EMS or the Fire Department.  We can always use help with our elections!  We need additional CDL drivers interested in being a substitute driver on our garbage truck, and people willing to be a sub for the back of the truck also.  If none of these sound like something you would enjoy, let us know and we will try and find something for you!
