Hanover Township appoints volunteers to mental health board

Hanover Township trustees have appointed three Bartlett residents to its mental health board.

Kim Baffa, Meghan Nelson and Julia Thomas will sit on the panel charged with allocating funds to nonprofit agencies that provide services in fields of mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse.

"The township relies heavily on the service of volunteers," Supervisor Brian McGuire said. "These new appointees will be able to have a direct say in how local tax dollars will be used in the funding of local agencies that serve our residents."

The board meets at 6:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 250 S. Route 59 in Bartlett. For details, call (630) 837-0301 or visit Hanover-township.org.
