A Message from Township President,
Senator Louis S. Viverito
New Dental Trailer Arrives and Veteran Staffers Retire
I’m excited to announce that we have recently purchased a new dental
services trailer that will allow us to offer state-of-the-art dental care
for children and expand that service to our seniors as well.
Our previous dental trailer was purchased in the 1970s and, though it served
us well, it had deteriorated and fallen behind the times. Our new trailer provides
up-to-date procedures with greater capacity and allows the Township to include
seniors in the scope of its services. In addition to its regular route of schools,
the dental trailer will now regularly visit the LSV Senior Center.
Perhaps the best news is that we were able to pay for this new vehicle without
any additional burden to the taxpayers. This is no small feat in today’s
economic climate. Many
thanks to Robert Peters, the outgoing Township Administrator and Public Health
Director, for seeing this project through so efficiently. (Click
For more information about the Mobile Dental Trailer.)
There are many people to thank for the day-to-day delivery of Township services.
Some people work hard behind the scenes and their roles go largely unrecognized.
A number of dear friends and colleagues of mine are retiring this year,
not the least of which are Robert Peters and Chief Accountant Mary Faley. As
with any successful organization, capable people are ready to step up to
continue to serve our residents, but we will miss the contributions regularly
made by these veteran staffers. Their efforts
must certainly be applauded and we recognize that without them we would not
have achieved our current high degree of success.
