Take Your Child to Work Day

On April 26th, Hillsborough Township welcomed many new young employees to the Municipal Building for Take Your Child to Work Day. These diligent workers spent time with Judge Frank Taddeo to learn more about Municipal Court before visiting with Mayor Shawn Lipani to learn more about his duties and working for Hillsborough Township. Afterward, the township's newest staff members went outside to learn more about the OEM, fire, and DPW trucks before coming back inside for fun and games, and pizza.

Committeeman Ruh Recognizes Older Americans Month

On May 4th, Committeeman James Ruh had the pleasure of attending the Senior Chapter A meeting for a meet and greet - and would like to thank Chapter A for the invitation.

Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). The 2023 theme is Aging Unbound, which offers an opportunity to explore diverse aging experiences and discuss how communities can combat stereotypes. It’s important to promote flexible thinking about aging – and how we all benefit when older adults remain engaged, independent, and included.

Sponsorships Available for Salute to Military Service Breakfast and Other Commemoration Programs

A long-standing tradition in Hillsborough Township is to observe Memorial Day with a parade and commemoration ceremonies. Over the last 17 years, we’ve been honored to have nearly 300 Hillsborough veterans, spouses, and widows lead us in the day’s events, beginning with The Salute to Military Service Breakfast. There is no group more fitting to help us honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom than the Veterans who experienced first-hand the demands of military service. Once again, this year, we will invite all Hillsborough veterans to the Township’s 2023 Salute to Military Service Breakfast and Memorial Day Commemoration Ceremonies on Saturday, May 27th.
