Heads up, Bordentown Township & City — due to unforeseen circumstances, this weekend’s Shredder Day is postponed. 📄🛑
We know many of you were planning to stop by this weekend, and we’re sorry for the last-minute change.
We’ll share the rescheduled date as soon as it’s confirmed — thanks for hanging in there with us!
Meet the women behind the Clerk’s Office — Cindy, our Township Clerk, and Meghan, our Deputy Clerk!
Cindy has spent 17+ years serving Bordentown, the town she’s called home since childhood. She loves helping residents, working alongside a great team, and staying busy every day. Outside the office, she enjoys day trips, traveling, and spending time with her grandkids.
Meghan joined the Clerk’s Office last August after years in the construction permit department. Her goal? To make your visit easier, quicker, and a little less daunting. She’s also a book club host, Little Free Library steward, and true crime podcast enthusiast — don’t worry, she’s more into solving paperwork than whodunits.
The Clerk’s Office can help with marriage licenses, voter registration, records requests, meeting info, and general questions — big or small. They’re happy to walk you through the process and point you in the right direction.
Have a question? Don’t be shy — stop in or reach out. That’s what they’re here for.
