Thanks to Ms Galvin for her efforts in publicizing the work of the Town Clerk’s office above as well as the info flyer included with the mailing of the annual census; her outreach is to be commended, and is certainly appreciated.
Having pertinent dates for filing and registration deadlines, as well as dates of elections, town meeting etc. are especially welcome, rather than reading it in the newspaper at the last minute. Milton may be a small town but it has had a plethora of new families in recent years and mailings to every home is the one true way to make sure “everyone knows that”.
