Book Club
Our December meeting will be December 14, 2021 at 7 pm in Town Hall to discuss:
it was recommended everyone read a Mary Higgins Clarke holiday book. There are many to choose from “Silent Night”, “Deck The Halls”, “All through the Night”, “Santa Cruise” or “The Magical Christmas Horse”.
It’ll be a quick discussion so we can have our Holiday party.
Remember to bring a slightly used or new book that you liked wrapped and we will have a Present Swap/Steal if you want to join in.
Also you can bring light refreshments or small munchies for all to enjoy if you are comfortable with that also.

Combating the spotted lantern fly
The township has been proactive in the fight against the invasive lantern fly. Here are several useful links that you can go on to learn more about this invasive pest. There is much more available on the Internet, and we suggest all residents read and learn about the spotted lantern fly.
The past several weeks the township has been using an IPM approach. We have been spraying various tree trunks on town property where the lantern fly has been found. Our DPW supervisor strongly recommends that if you do use the sticky traps to please make sure they are covered properly to avoid killing and harming birds, bats, tree frogs and other useful insects.
