Caln Township

Polls will be open tomorrow from 7am to 8pm. Don't forget to bring your mask to help protect your fellow voters and our wonderful poll-workers! You might also want to bring your own pen (black or blue ink) and hand sanitizer. Please follow instructions from poll workers and other election officials. They are there to help things run smoothly. And most importantly, be patient. This will be a new experience for everyone involved. You can help by being patient and understanding while you exercise your right to vote.

Since we'll have to reschedule our Caln Pride Day Community Clean Up this year, we thought it would be nice to feature some examples of all the ways our citizens and businesses are being good neighbors during these trying times. Are you making masks? Wearing masks? Helping out your neighbors? Supporting local businesses? Practicing good social distancing? We want to see pictures! Share them in the comments along with a description or email them to [email protected]. Every Friday we'll add them to a Caln Pride photo album on Facebook and on our website.

Last call for submitting your Halloween costume photos! Email a picture of your kiddo or pet along with their age to [email protected] by 7pm today (11/2). Costumes will be judged according to age group by our Parks and Recreation volunteers. One winner will be selected from each group. Winners will receive a certificate and prize and will be featured on our website and Facebook. *By entering, you're agreeing to let us share you child's (or pet's) photo on social media and calntownship.org. We won't share their name or age. Open to Caln Township residents.

Don't forget to send us those costume pictures (to [email protected])! Also, please be extra safe if you decide to trick-or-treat or if you're driving anywhere this evening! Wishing everyone a happy Halloween!

Remember to turn your clocks back this weekend. Change your batteries in all your smoke and CO detectors

Reminder: Leaf vacuuming begins this week! Rather than bagging your leaves, you need only rake them to the front of your property, immediately adjacent to the road's edge. Leaves must be as close to the road's edge as possible and not obstructed by vehicles. Please DO NOT rake leaves into the street as leaves could get washed into storm inlets during inclement weather or can freeze to the roadway as we get cooler temperatures. Below is the schedule for this season's leaf pick...up: Township leaf vacuuming begins "week" of the following dates: -Week of October 26th and Week of November 9th for the Monday and Tuesday Trash Customers. -Week of November 2nd and Week of November 16th for the Wednesday and Thursday Trash Customers. -Week of November 30th and Week of December 7th (Township Wide Clean Up) See more
