🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET 9/11 🇺🇸
September 11, 2001 — a day that changed our nation forever.
We remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost. We remember the families who were forever changed. We remember the firefighters, police officers, EMS providers, military members, and ordinary citizens who showed incredible courage and selflessness in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
We remember those who ran toward danger while others were running away.
We will never forget their sacrifice. We will never forget their courage. We will never forget.
🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — Forever in our hearts.
🕊️ Never Forget

Thank you Shawnee Township for your continued support!!

There's been a lot of noise lately about the Shawnee Township Renewal Levy—and not all of it is accurate.
This levy is not something new or excessive.
It's a renewal that helps ensure Shawnee
Township can continue providing the level of fire and emergency services our community depends on every single day. Without it, we risk cuts that could impact response times, staffing, and overall public safety. We've all seen what happens in communities where funding falls short-services decline, and it's the residents who feel it most. We also have new township trustees in place.
They deserve the opportunity to lead, make improvements, and be part of moving Shawnee forward. But they can't do that effectively without the resources this levy provides.
Shawnee Fire works hard to protect and serve this township. This renewal helps them continue delivering the care, protection, and rapid response our families rely on.
Don't let misinformation decide the future of our community. Stay informed, think about what's at stake, and make your voice count.

Vote YES on the Shawnee Township Renewal
Levy!!!

Shawnee voters,

As you prepare to vote on Tuesday, keep this quote from Benjamin Franklin in mind:

“He that speaks much, is much mistaken.”

On Tuesday, you have the opportunity to support the continuation of our current fire and EMS services by voting YES on the levy.

Thank you.

“It’s $33 per $100,000…the average value of a home in Shawnee is $275,000…it comes out to about $7.50 a month”

Vote FOR the renewal levy on May 5th. It’s not a new levy, so NO NEW MONEY!
