I love Clinton Township, the schools, the location, the small vil- lages, the neighborhoods of fine homes and the historic fabric. I am the president of a local non-profit, The 1759 Vought House, A Revolution- ary War Loyalist Homestead which owns the house at the entrance to the Clinton Township Middle School on Grayrock Road. The unique history and rare decorative plaster ceilings put it on the National Register in 2007. In 2012, our non-profit took responsibility for the property, relieving the burden from taxpayers. Now, the restoration work has finally begun. Watch the transformation of this historic gem. Join us this summer for our two-week public archaeology program! (Find 1759 Vought House on Facebook.)

"If it runs on gas I can fix it." says Harrison, "It makes sense from a cost standpoint. There is nothing worse," he continues, "than writing a repair bill that exceeds the value of a machine." Over the last few years Matt has been applying the same principals he and his father Jack used to build their limousine business located in the Township. "We built AAA one client at a time by delivering exceptional customer service to establish strong customer loyalty." Sold by the Harrison partnership in 1998, the company continues to flourish. Raised in Clinton, Matt now lives about 15 miles away in Harmony Township with his three teenage children, performing all repairs in a shop located at home. "As a single parent, I can't imagine doing it any other way!" April is the beginning of lawn mowing season. Call Matt Harrison today at: 908.296.3951 to make sure your lawn tractor is in prime condition. Come summertime, you'll be glad you did. a d u l T a r T C l a s s e s PAINTING & DRAWING–BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE Session B: Five Thursdays, April 24 to May 22 • 9:30 am to noon Arboretum, Adults, $100 (materials not included) Using a variety of subject matter the instructor works with students to improve their drawing and painting (charcoal, pastels, oil, acrylic, or watercolor paints) skills.
