A note from Supervisor Goldberg
I'm writing this note on a hot summer day, while looking ahead to all the wonderful things that await us in the fall season.

One of the major happenings will be the unveiling of the township's new website in mid-September. Our team is working to iron out the remaining details, test the site extensively and make it road ready for your use. There will be many new features that increase user friendliness and make communications more interactive. There will also be other "bells and whistles" we'll introduce before year-end, more about that in upcoming Dispatch issues.

Fall also means preparation for our Thanksgiving and holiday season food pantry programs. Despite improvements in the economy, many pantry clients depend on our support to make ends meet with supplemental groceries, paper goods, laundry detergent and personal hygeine items.

We will also be preparing the fall Courier newsletter, mailed to each household we serve. You'll get all the details on township programs, upcoming events and uplifting stories on the work we do with your great support each day.

Enjoy the remainder of summer.

All the best to you.
Alan

New Township Website To Launch Mid-September
Online communication changes at a frenetic pace, and your Board of Trustees and township leaders agreed that our 2009 website was expensive to upgrade and quite outdated to keep pace with present day internet requirements. A new website launching in mid-September will permit residents and followers of the township to customize news and information to suit their needs. The new site will also offer more intuitive navigation buttons, increased speed and ready access to all social media channels and our podcast. We are in final beta testing mode now, and are excited to share this communications improvement with you soon.
