Berkshire Twp. July 2017 Newsletter

Community and Service since 1806 August 2017

Greetings!

Have you ever attended a Township Trustee Meeting?
Have you attended one within the last year?
Have you used the walking trail at the Township Hall?
Do you know we are building a park?

Would you like to be more involved in the township and take "ownership" of your community? If the answer is yes, you're invited to join us for any of the meetings above, or volunteer on our community park committee.

Berkshire affords us the convenience of living in a location convenient to the city, yet offers a peaceful, rural setting when you come home at night. We would love to meet our residents and hope you'll join us at a Trustee Meeting in the near future. Click here for a link to the current meeting schedule

This edition of your monthly newsletter is packed full of news, happenings, announcements and more, so we hope you can take a few minutes to catch up with what is relevant today in Berkshire Township.

Sincerely,
Rod Myers, Bill Holtry and Mike Dattilo, Township Trustees

Volunteers Make the Difference!

Early on a Sunday morning in July a hearty group of volunteers showed up at the park to help spread mulch in the garden. It looks great and the plants are in, so stop by and check it out when you can. Thanks to all who helped. You are making a real difference in our community.

CALLING ALL HISTORIANS!

These may not look like anyone in your family, but we are looking for some vintage images of Berkshire Township. We don't need your originals, but if you have photos of scenes in the township with historic buildings, farm equipment, family members, etc. and you'd be willing to have them reproduced and hung in the Township Hall, we'd love to talk. Please contact Shawna at 614-369-2601 or at [email protected]

Money, Money, Money, MONEY!

A recent insert in the Delaware Gazette served as a good reminder that there might be unclaimed monies sitting in an account with YOUR name on them! Here's a link to the website where you can check to see if you or someone you know might be eligible to claim some "found money." No strings attached, this website is sanctioned by state governments for residents' benefit. CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO "UNCLAIMED FUNDS" SITE

With regards to trash and recycling cans, we encourage you to always collect the empty cans on Fridays as high winds may cause them to blow over into the road, creating a traffic hazard.

(It keeps our streets and neighborhoods looking nicer, too.)

Please contact REPUBLIC WASTE at 800-601-1867 or at the number on your invoice if you have any questions or issues with your service.
