When Raymond Poe was nominated (year not known) to run for Representative in the 99th District, it was the first Representative on the Republican side to represent the Township since Irv Smith was our Representative.

Back in 1977 there wasn't a Republican in any office except for 15 committeemen and no one worked for the State that we can recall.  The Republican Club of Springfield Township purpose was to elect Republican's to Springfield Township offices and by full filling this commitment it provided a better place to live.  The Republican's elected officials were able to work together to install street lights in all of Springfield township for safety, implemented a paving program to upgrade the roads, cleaned and graveled all the ally ways and drainage ditches were cleaned.  We have offered an open door policy, helped people find jobs and cut the welfare roll down to under fifteen.

One of the most beneficial programs that the Republican Club of Springfield Township/Springfield Township Elected Officials, came from the introduction of the "We Care Concert".  The We Care Concerts provides food baskets at Christmas time for the needy in Springfield Township.  We have just celebrated fifteen years this past December and delivered 185 food baskets in the Northend.  The We Care Concerts helps all in need, it doesn't draw any lines on who to help.  Your party affiliation is not looked at and we are very proud of that.
