Staff

Most of us have been challenged in many ways over the past year. Today, I would like to encourage you to take just a few moments for some self care and reflection. In order to face the challenges ahead, we must first take care of ourselves. It can be as simple as taking five minutes to meditate, going for a walk in the park, dancing in your kitchen, going for a car ride or reading a book. We all need to find what works best for us to improve our mental health so we can be the best versions of ourselves. Sincerely,

Danielle Carey Tolan Westfield Washington Township Trustee
