The 24th Annual LemonAid is Thursday, September 11th from 3-7PM on the 700 Block of Bonnie Brae. Established in 2002 in memory of the September 11th attacks, the mission is to turn lemonADE into lemonAID by raising awareness and funds for local charities that serve children. This year the two deserving charities are Opportunity Knocks and Thrive Counseling Center. The Township is proud to be a multi-year sponsor of the event and is in the process of incorporating the event into our Township programming. For more information, contact Township Supervisor John Becvar.
