The induction ceremony for newly elected and appointed officers of the town took place on March 28, two days after the Lincoln election. The event is held annually and is meant to celebrate those who have stepped up to serve the town, and to acquaint them with one another and with the legal obligations of their public service. It culminates with the administration of the oath of office to the group and with each person signing a leather-bound registry of public service.
One of the new officials signs the Register of Oaths Sworn.
