“We are excited to have the return of Community Day as an event sponsored by the Township. It is important for the community to again be able to gather and reconnect with each other," said Nerwinski.

"Though Covid-19 remains a serious threat to our health and safety, we now have vaccines to add to our ability to protect ourselves along with the other safeguards of masking and social distancing. We hope that those that attend are respectful of others and will do their part to keep the event as safe as possible. These are challenging times, but we must also take the cautious steps to return to some normalcy.”
