Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Alyssa Schmucker, North Webster, is seeking re-election of her position as the Tippecanoe Township Trustee.
Her first term will come to a close this year. While in office, she assisted in such accomplishments as the township purchase of a Little League baseball field now used by the North Webster Youth League. A grant from the International Palace of Sports was received to assist the township with the purchase.
The Kosciusko County 21st Foundation also approved a grant request from the Little League to construct playground equipment on the park area of the property.
Schmucker currently serves as both the township trustee as well as EMS director.
Schmucker said she is dedicated to keeping the local EMS system in place to provide service for township residents. Currently, the North Webster EMS service provides paramedic assistance year-round, but concerns have been raised due to several signing contracts with Multi-Township to provide these services.
She sees township assistance to those in need as a challenge.
"You must have a very open and active mind and be willing to learn something new everyday," Schmucker is quoted in a press release.
"I do the financial processes of the budget preparation, bill paying and preparing the annual report following state requirements for townships as well as making the important decisions that must be made to keep the township running smooth."
Schmucker was born and raised in North Webster and graduated from Wawasee High School. She is a member of American Legion 253, Lakeland Kiwanis, committee chairperson and treasurer of Boy Scout Troop 726 and Brownie Girl Scout Leader for Troop 286.
She enjoys spending time with her friends and family, including her two children, Tyler, 12, and Abby, 9.
