Broad Brook Grange in collaboration with the Guilford Selectboard will hold the annual Pre-Town Meeting on Tuesday, February 27, 6:30 pm.
The event will be live-streamed on BCTV, but those interested in participating should attend at Broad Brook Community Center. Town Meeting Moderator, Rick Zamore, will facilitate the February 27 session.
Town Meeting itself will convene at 10am on Tuesday, March 5, at Guilford Central School. Australian ballot will again be used to elect town officers, with polls open at the school from 10am to 7pm.
At the Pre-Town Meeting, the Selectboard will present and discuss the articles to be voted at Town Meeting, and will answer questions and receive comments from townspeople present.
In addition, candidates for town offices are urged to attend to introduce themselves to the voters. This is the only time before the vote for the public to meet and hear the candidates together. One of the terms for Guilford representative to the WSESD School Board is up for election this year; voters will also cast ballots for reps from the other district towns, and all candidates are invited to attend Pre-Town Meeting to introduce themselves and answer questions. Those interested in declaring as a write-in candidate should take this sole opportunity to appear before a group of voters.
Guilford’s reps to the WSESD Board will also be on hand to talk about school board business, and a brief update on Guilford Central School’s year in progress will be given.
Refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there!
