Palmyra Twp. to seek cemetery levy

By MELISSA BURNOR

PALMYRA — Palmyra Township will ask its residents to consider a .2 mill levy for cemetery operations and improvements during the August primary election. The action was approved at its April 10 board meeting. Palmyra Township Supervisor Jim Isley said the levy would cover expenses at all four township cemeteries. The levy would generate approximately $16,000 a year. Isley said the township has had to consider the millage levy after losing the tipping fee from the landfill that closed last year.

Scouts host Easter party at Legion

The Blissfield Community Girls Scouts is hosting an Easter Party for the community from 10:30 a.m.-noon Saturday at the Blissfield American Legion. There is no cost to attend and participate in the festivities.

Unlike the Easter Egg hunts of the past hosted by the Girl Scouts, this year’s event will be inside the Legion due to the possibility of bad weather and the already wet ground. They have planned some fun games and crafts along with prizes, organizer Michelle Molaro said.

Molaro said the event is geared to ages three to 10 it is a community event. Molaro said there are a lot of outdoor toys that will be given away as prizes. The Easter Bunny will be visiting with children at the event, thanks to a donation by the Blissfield Kiwanis. The Girl Scouts will be taking photos of children with the Easter Bunny for $2 each.
