The Township lost an excellent advocate for good government when Trustee Keyes resigned. It will be difficult to replace her passion, courage and integrity but we need to try. I urge anyone who is concerned about the future of Oakland Township to fill out the simple application that I have linked below.
The commitment would be to serve until the general election in Nov. 2014.
I have applied even though my being selected is nearly impossible. I am sure there are many people reading this who would be able to make a valuable contribution so please apply. The application deadline is 4:30 PM this Friday, November 1st so mail your application early or drop it off at the Township Hall.
This is the notice from the Township web site:
Currently there is an open position on the Board of Trustees the Board is seeking to fill. This will be filled by appointment until the next general election. Interested candidates can submit their application to Karen Brennen, Deputy Clerk, by close of business on Friday, November 1st, 2013.
PLEASE NOTE THE NOVEMBER 1ST DEADLINE

Hi Tom,
I would recommend that if you are interested, go ahead and fill out the application and drop it off on Monday. I would also suggest you send an email to each of the Board members and let them know that you are interested and will drop off the application on Monday.
