Dear Resident,
Monday, January 17 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and all municipal offices and the recycling center are closed in observance. In addition to being a federal holiday, MLK Day is designated as a national day of service. We are very grateful for the hundreds of residents who give back to our community. Committee members, First Aid and Fire, coaches, teens and seniors…we could not accomplish all we do without them.
