Volunteers to be recognized Thursday in West Chester Twp.

WEST CHESTER TWP. — The West Chester Twp. Trustees will host an appreciation reception Thursday to honor about 100 volunteers who have stepped forward to serve the community in the past year.

The event will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Muhlhauser Barn, 8558 Beckett Road.

These are people who sit on volunteer committees in the township like the zoning board, the zoning commission and the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting, said Barb Wilson, a spokeswoman for the twp.

“None of those are paid positions,” she said.

The volunteers also serve as drivers for the township’s Senior Van Service and help support Historical Society programs, Wilson said.
