Community Events

Greetings from the campaign trail…

We have been attending many community events in the past two months, so we could meet as many people as possible. It was a great experience, as I have discussed many of the challenges that Forks Township faces in the coming years.

We attended Forks Community Days on September 15 and 16, 2007. It was a wonderful community event. I attended the Forks Fire Department open house on October 6, 2007. Once again, I had the chance to meet many different people and visit a professional volunteer fire department. I hope the citizens of Forks Township realize the level of professionalism and skill of our fire department. It is truly amazing!

The Forks PTA held a candidate night on October 9, 2007. What a night! The candidates spent over two hours debating the issues and answering questions from members of the Forks PTA. We fielded questions ranging from open government to storm water management, Delaware River flooding, the rapid growth of Forks Township, and the impact of this growth on our roads, fire, police, and schools.

I talked about my vision for Forks Township (Clean, Lean, and Green) and the importance of developing a comprehensive storm water management program, partnering with the County, State, and Federal governments to get grants for open space, creating a truly open government, and improving the recreational opportunities for our community.

We will continue to campaign door-to-door to meet as many residents as possible. I have been thanked many times by the people I have met for taking the time to campaign door-to-door. I have covered over 70% of Forks Township neighborhoods and I am hopeful to visit every neighborhood by Election Day!

It is very important that we proactively reach out to residents to get ideas on critical township issues. If you have any ideas or comments about critical issues facing Forks Township, please share your ideas via our blog or email at billings2007@att.net.

Get Involved – Every Vote Counts!

Sincerely,
