Weekend Update
Dear Resident,
This Saturday is National Kids to Parks Day. Join in one of our planned events, or visit one of our 14 municipal parks and make your own fun. This event is free and no registration is needed. See below for more.
This week, Marlboro Township Police Officers participated in the Unity Tour, an event that coincides with National Police Week. Police Officers from the Marlboro Township Police Department and neighboring agencies that make up Team Marlboro helped to raise over $2 million dollars this year to support the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. Team Marlboro has participated in the Police Unity Tour for the past 15 years, has helped raise over $33 million and have had over 100 different police officers ride with Team Marlboro.
Please join me in congratulating the officers that participated in this week’s Unity Tour and thanking all our Police Officers for all they do to keep us safe every day throughout the year.
Please read on for Township programs and events.
