McELHATTAN — Summer is in full swing and brings upcoming events in Wayne Township and continued work at its parks by the township’s recreation committee, making them the best they can be for residents near and far.

WALK TO REMEMBER

On May 18, the recreation committee in conjunction with Truck Lite held its first “Walk to Remember.” A very special thanks to all who participated, to Kim Vance who sang the National Anthem and Pastor Laura Gilbert from McElhattan’s Pathway to Christ Church for the very moving prayer of remembrance. Truck Lite provided flags for all participants followed by light refreshments.
