August 23, 2024

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another week of news here on Summit in Six! Bridget (and Bailey!) here with you today to cover some exciting community engagement opportunities coming up! Let’s get into it! 


TOPIC 1 – Election Work Promo 


The 2024 General Election is just over two months away. Did you know that by signing up to work the polls on Election Day you’d be helping to strengthen our democracy, giving back to our community, and ensuring accurate and secure elections for all?


To offer to help with the November 5, 2024 Election, please submit your application to the Summit County Clerk’s Office as soon as possible at summitcounty.info/electionworker


TOPIC 2 – Community Health Assessment 


If you live, work or play in Summit County then the Health Department wants to hear from you in their 2024 Community Health Assessment or CHA! The CHA is a short, ten-minute survey that allows the public to share their ideas, suggestions, and concerns about public health in our communities. 


Their goal is to reach 1,000 responses to the CHA by the end of October and they’re halfway there! Help Summit County reach their goal and create a healthier community for all.


Visit summitcountyhealth.org/cha24 to take the survey in English or Spanish.


TOPIC 3 – Fall Weeds Tour


The Summit County’s Weeds Division is hosting a Community Noxious Weeds Tour on Saturday, September 7 from 9 AM to 12 PM to educate residents on the “most-wanted” weeds here in Summit County.


Residents will meet Dave Bingham, Weed Superintendent, Dan Pena, Weed Enforcement Officer, and some other special guests at Richardson Flat Park and Ride to learn to identify and control noxious weeds on their own properties.


Please RSVP (for free!) at summitcounty.info/falltour24 to let us know you’re coming.
