Orland Township Honors Volunteers

In honor of Volunteer Appreciation Week, Orland Township hosted a dinner to celebrate the contributions its many volunteers, according to the office of Township Supervisor Paul O’Grady. 

Supervisor O’Grady thanked the volunteers for their many contributions that contributed to the mission of Orland Township over the past year.

“Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Township,” said Supervisor O’Grady. “Even in the middle of a pandemic, you still came out to help and support the community. If it wasn’t for all of you, we would never be able to accomplish everything we do at the Township. On behalf of a grateful community, thank you.”

Orland Township’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner was held Wednesday, April 21 at the Orland Chateau.
