The recent government meeting highlighted several community initiatives and events aimed at enhancing public safety, veteran support, and educational facilities.
The Drug Enforcement Administration's National Take Back Day is scheduled for Saturday, October 26th, providing residents an opportunity to dispose of unneeded medications anonymously and at no cost. A medication drop-off container will be available at the municipal building from 10 AM to 2 PM, with a reminder that sharps and liquids should not be included.
In community engagement efforts, \"Coffee with the Cops\" will return on Wednesday, October 16th, from 4 to 6 PM at a local Starbucks, encouraging residents to connect with law enforcement in an informal setting.
The meeting also addressed veteran services, noting the success of a recent information session that provided valuable resources to veterans. Christina Lou from the county's Office on Aging and Disability Services discussed partnerships that offer free medical equipment loans through the Pluckerman Medical Equipment Ministry. An upcoming veterans' information fair is scheduled for December 14th, further supporting the local veteran community.
Additionally, a ceremony was held on September 30th to honor those missing in action and prisoners of war, acknowledging the ongoing sacrifices of American service members. The meeting also mentioned participation in the John Basilone parade, commemorating the only enlisted Marine awarded both the Congressional Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross.
Lastly, the Triangle School celebrated the reopening of its playground, which has been expanded to include equipment for students with special needs, promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all children.
These initiatives reflect the township's commitment to community welfare, veteran support, and inclusive education.
