JACKSON TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY COMMITTEES
Many hands make light work, and we cannot work without the help of volunteers. We are always looking for committee members to assist the chair people. If you would like more information or are interested in helping, please contact Jackson.Historical@gmail.com. For most committees you can make your own schedule, number of hours, and some can be done at home. I hope you consider us a worthy organization and donate your time.
