Rabies Facts:
Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus.  Only mammals, including people, can get rabies. The virus is found in the saliva of a rabid animal and is transmitted by a bite, or possibly by contamination of an open cut.  Left untreated, rabies attacks the nervous system and causes death.  For you and your pets sake, please take advantage of the free clinics listed above.

Buena Vista Township is about to unveil new “Welcome to Buena Vista” signs at all the entry points to the Township.  The signs replace previous “Welcome” signs that have been in place for over 10 years.

The new signs are in celebration of the Township’s Sesquicentennial 1867 to 2017 and say “150 Years of Pride…”.  There are new photos as part of the sign that feature Township Hall, a deer, a tractor representing the farm community and the giant Richland Oak Tree from Saw Mill Park at its most beautiful.

The Township symbol of the America Eagle also appears on the sign in our logo.    Look for them soon.

Buena Vista Township’s Deputy Mayor Teresa Kelly received the 2016 Elected Public Official of the Year Award from the National Association of Social Workers – New jersey Chapter at a ceremony held on October 27, 2016.

The event was held at the Forsgate Country Club in Central New Jersey.  Teresa’s 25 years of service as an elected official and her lifetime career commitment to social work was honored.

Congratulations Teresa!

The Joey Reiser Foundation visits St. Christopher’s Hospital in Philadelphia on a regular basis. This photo taken around Halloween shows a group of their members during their last visit. Many of the regular members are from the Collings Lakes area or in the Reiser family.

The group celebrates Joey Reiser who lost his life to cancer at a young age.  They raise money for scholarships and other charitable activities.  Alice Reiser (seated third from left) and John Reiser (standing in rear third from left) are Joey’s parents.  Township Committeeman John Williams and his wife Sue are seen in the second and third row second from the right.
