Cathy Beaver’s Retirement
We celebrate Cathy Beaver, who has been our Town Clerk for the past 13 years, with a fond farewell as she begins the next chapter of her life and retires to Florida. Cathy takes with her a wealth of knowledge about the Town which will be sorely missed. It just won’t be the same without her!
On Cathy’s last day of work, Friday, March 22nd, there will be an open house at Town Hall from 2:00-4:00 pm. All are invited to stop by. If you are unable to attend but would like to send a note to wish her well, you can drop it in the lock box along the entrance driveway at Town Hall at any time.
We are pleased to announce that Ivonne Romero will be assuming the position of Town Clerk.
