ELECTION DAY
Tuesday,
November 3rd is Election Day, that day
that all citizens are called to exercise our right to vote.
The polls will be open from
6:30am until 7:30pm.
As with any “right”, there is a corresponding “duty.” With
our right to vote, we have a duty to vote. With 13 hours to
vote on election day along with absentee ballots and early
voting, there should be no reason for a citizen to not
perform their duty to vote.

clambake last Saturday evening. 152 dinners were served. We
