During a recent township council meeting, members highlighted several community events and initiatives aimed at fostering local engagement and remembrance. Council member Sonia began by extending wishes for a happy Janmashtami to those celebrating, and she reflected on her participation in various local events, including the India-Pakistan Independence Day celebration and the 10th anniversary of Alex's Lemonade Stand, which raises funds for childhood cancer research.

Looking ahead, Sonia announced a community cleanup organized by high school seniors Anna and Alice at the DNR Canal Path on August 29, inviting residents to participate. She also detailed plans for the township's 23rd annual September 11 memorial service, scheduled for September 11 at 7 PM. Notably, a group of veterans from the organization 104911 will pass through the township the day before, as part of their 100-mile walk to the memorial in New York City. Sonia encouraged residents to support the veterans as they carry a flag significant to one of their members.

In a poignant moment, the council observed a moment of silence for two West Windsor residents who recently passed away: Mary Schenk, a 98-year-old community contributor, and 18-year-old Don Danny Haas, who tragically died in an accident. Council members expressed their condolences and shared memories of their contributions to the community.

Additionally, the council is preparing for \"Shop West Windsor Month\" in September, encouraging residents to support local businesses. They also announced an upcoming bike fest on September 8, promoting community involvement in local events. The meeting concluded with a call for volunteers to assist in placing flags at the memorial, honoring the firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
