The BIP held its 45th Civic Trust Dinner on November 3, 2022.  This year a slight change was made in that the BIP recognized three businesses for their 50 years in business and the Palmer Township Athletic Association for its 70 years serving the youth of the township.

Giving back to the community

Since the BIP was established in 1976 the organization has been committed to giving back to the community.  The first project began in the early 1980s when the BIP led the development and raised funds to build the Palmer Memorial Library.  From that point to today this community service has continued.  In 2005 the BIP held its first Golf Outing to raise funds for a project and this has become an annual event since then.  Click the button below to view the various projets.
