We hope you enjoyed Behm Park!
|
|
Behm Park is closing on Friday, November 18. We need to get the pickle ball nets and wind screens down, close up the restrooms and have our staff ready to plow snow. The park was busy everyday this year with the football, baseball, soccer, pickle ball players, walkers and families using the playground.
The Fremont Township board has ordered two shade structures that will be installed next year and a generation swing for the playground.

At the grand opening of the new Jewel, the Fremont Township Food Pantry received a $2500 donation. Jewel has also been collecting donations for Thanksgiving dinners and those dinner donations are going directly to Fremont Township residents in need. Elly's again this year is donating 30 turkeys to our pantry which will be delivered in time for Thanksgiving.
With the sale of Kirk of the Lakes Church, the food pantry was selected by the parishioners to receive a $20,000 donation. We are thankful for these generous donations.
Our community organizations, churches and residents have been dropping off donations for our food pantry and Thanksgiving dinners. We appreciate our community and their concern for neighbors in need. If you are aware of Fremont Township residents in need, please have them call our office at 847 223-2847.
