Municipal Clerk Staff Honored
At this week's Township Council meeting, Mayor Joseph Hankins was proud to recognize Professional Municipal Clerks Week and the outstanding employees in our Manchester Township Clerk's Office who go above and beyond for our residents on a daily basis! Mayor Hankins was joined by Municipal Clerk Teri Giercyk, Deputy Municipal Clerk Maria Golda, and Assistant Municipal Clerk Emilie Bell, where they graciously accepted a Proclamation in recognition of the week. Teri and her staff play a critical role in our Township, serving "as the information center on functions of local government and community." From managing and maintaining records, local ordinances, marriage licenses, and so much more, Manchester Township's Municipal Clerk staff is truly top-notch. Mayor Hankins and the Township Council thank Teri and her staff for their continued professionalism and dedication to Manchester Township and our residents!
