The next town meeting is Monday, October 5, 7:30 p.m., because the previous Monday was a holiday, Yom Kipper.
Our town charter required us to meet on Monday, September 28, at 7:30 p.m., but we immediately adjourned that meeting until the following Monday, October 5, 7:30 p.m., when the rest of the meeting will take place. Join us via ZOOM!
