“I’ll be relocating and will no longer be able to fulfill my duties,” Caulder said. “I am sad to leave Watson Township, but I am excited to begin a new adventure. I believe we have a couple of good candidates that have expressed interest in filling the treasurer position and I’m sure Watson Township will be left in good hands.”
