Around Edinburg: Work with the Board of Elections, attend a spaghetti dinner, trunk or treat and more

I recently took the training to be a Precinct Election Official, and the Board of Elections is still looking for people to help out in the November General Election. There is also compensation of $150 if you follow through with the training and work the day of the election: $20 for the training and $130 for working the polls. If this is something you might consider doing, contact the Portage County Board of Elections at 330-297-3511. It’s a great way to be involved.

Don’t forget about the spaghetti dinner and basket raffle benefiting the Portage County Water Rescue Team on Oct. 20. Funds will be used to purchase ice rescue suits to help ensure that rescuers are getting to the victim faster and safer. It will also be used for communication equipment to better communicate with the team and other agencies in the county during emergencies. Again, the benefit dinner will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Palmyra United Methodist Church, 3968 S.R. 225. The cost of the dinner is $10 per person and $5 for kids who are younger than 5 years old.
