Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. We would like to thank our Jefferson Township Police Department for their dedication and hard work keeping us safe and always being ready to assist JTRS and our residents. We appreciate you EVERY day, but especially today.

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy New Year!

Well said.

Good evening everyone,

Our first responders who are actively on the road this evening are reporting very slippery and deteriorating road conditions across the area.

If being on the road is not part of your job description, we strongly encourage you to remain safely at home or complete your travel as soon as possible. Conditions are expected to continue to worsen as the evening and overnight hours progress.

Our bottom line is simple: we want everyone safe and preferably off the roads. We’d much rather you spend the evening at home than have to meet you out there under hazardous conditions.

Please use caution if travel is absolutely necessary, and stay safe.

TODAY IS THE DAY! Come on out to support one of our own. Erica Reneé has a history of supporting Jefferson, now she needs help. This Wednesday, Gatwyns will donate a portion of their sales to help Erica. Includes lunch service too. I also hear it's steak night! Hope to see you there. If you can't make it to Gatwyns, here is a link to her Go Fund Me. Thank you to everyone. Jefferson is an awesome community. https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-ericas-fight-for-health-and-healing
