The Andover Township Recreation Committee has a Secretary/Director who is in charge of planning and overseeing the activities that take place year around for the residents of the Township. Some of these activities are the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Senior Luncheon, Music In The Park, Andover Township Day, Holiday Party, Basketball for Adults, Volleyball for Adults, dances for both teens and adults, family skate nights, summer recreation programs, annual contests including Miss Andover Township as well as the Little Miss and Mister Andover Township contests, bus trips, etc.

Additional duties include handling rentals and use of facilities at Hillside Park and Hall. The Hall is available for rental from March through December. Rental inquiries come from "word of mouth" and we also advertise in the Township newsletters that are sent out twice a year. The Director is available to show the building to prospective renters during normal working hours and when she is at the building for other recreation activities during other hours. The Director handles the paperwork for the rentals as well as collecting the fees for rental and security deposit. A monthly calendar of rental dates is prepared and dispersed to the Road Department, Police Department, and building caretakers so that each one of them are aware of the use of the building. Also, schedules for use of the various athletic fields located at the Park are kept in the Recreation Office in an effort to coordinate game and practice use.

The Secretary/Director also works closely with the Road Department to monitor the Hillside Park facilities to make sure that all areas are being maintained in a proper and safe manner.

Secretarial duties include keeping files that contain correspondence sent and received as well as scheduling monthly meetings where the members meet to review the correspondence and help plan the activities that the Committee sponsors. The Secretary takes minutes of each meeting. For each meeting a packet is prepared and sent to the members containing the minutes of the previous meeting along with an agenda for the current meeting.

The Andover Township Recreation Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Hillside Park.
