Town of Tioga Social Committee

Tioga's Social Committee is responsible for planning, organizing, and running the many fun and family-oriented events for the community. We feel that these events help make Tioga such a great place to live and grow up. For the committee to continue to host such events, volunteers are needed. There are many different events and the type of assistance required varies greatly. The following is a general outline of the events and the manpower needed to make each one a success.
