Due to weather conditions, the Wednesday Selectmen’s meeting was shortened. However, they did cover a few items. Kathy Vizard continues to work on the website to get it up and running properly. The selectmen have decided to ask the town attorney to attend the March 11 Town Meeting. Rob Nadler attended the Planning Board meeting in Jack Rose’s absence. The Town Report will be completed by March 3.
Please be aware that the selectmen’s office will be closed on Monday, February 24 as Kathy will be attending a funeral.

Congratulations to Emily Brown on making the Plymouth State University’s president’s list with a grade point average of 3.7 or better.
Having just returned from a cruise where we stopped at St. Thomas and St. Maarten in the Caribbean, and enjoyed temperatures in the ‘80s, the snow looks beautiful, but the weather has been a shock. However, it’s winter in NH and we must learn to enjoy it. Have a great week.
