Senior Center Members – Chief Patrick Gurcsik and I would like to invite you to come join Washington Township Council members and Washington Township police officers, as we celebrate a “Christmas in July” themed luncheon. This fun fill event will include a complimentary BBQ lunch which will be cooked and served by our officers. A huge thank you to the Chiango Family and Egizi Funeral home for sponsoring the BBQ food and entertainment, by The John Monforto Variety Show.
