WORKERS NEEDED: Elections, Board of Review, Cemetery, and Budget & Financial Review

Want to become an election worker? We need you! Click here to check out state guidelines and contact the township clerk, Sue Sullivan, for more information. At this time, in the interest of balance, those volunteers affiliated with the Republican Party are especially needed. Compensation is provided.
Board of Review is the citizen's review board that sits 3 times a year to hear protests to constituents' tax property assessments, plus grants exemptions (such as veterans or poverty) and corrects errors in records. Go to our "BOR" webpage for more information. An alternate is needed. Compensation is provided.
If you're interested in the historical aspects of our two cemeteries, we are looking for someone to work on an historical compendium documenting some of the more interesting gravesites. We are also looking for a committee member who has family in East Cemetery and would like to be involved with the business end of running a cemetery. See Supervisor Ferris.
This "sub" committee is a new idea and never been formed before. Pending approval of the board, it will serve as another layer to our government's system of checks-as-balances. Details as to the scope of the work will be forthcoming. See Supervisor Ferris.
