To the editor,
I know that many of us have spent many hours planning for and learning about the issues we will be discussing at the Special Town Meeting on June 9. My hope is that in the next several weeks (hopefully on Monday mornings) I can explain some of the procedures we will follow at the meeting. For those not familiar with Town Meeting, I am hopeful that this information will be useful. Please share this information with others and, by all means, discuss the issues and the procedures between and among yourselves.
Today is the day to review the checking-in process for June 9:
- Come to the lobby of the Donaldson Auditorium in the Brooks School on Ballfield Road. Parking is always tight so walking, biking or carpooling is encouraged.
- Please arrive between 9:00 and 9:15 to check in so you’ll be ready when the gavel falls at 9:30.
- Check in with the tellers if you are a registered voter and be sure to get your hand stamped. See below if you are not a registered voter.
- Collect various documents on the tables inside the auditorium offered by the town boards and committees.
- If need be, there will be overflow space in the Reed Gym.
- Find your seat and get comfortable. We have a full day ahead of us.
You have until Wednesday, May 30 to register to vote at the June 9 meeting. If you are not a registered voter, you may attend the meeting, but you must ask for permission from the meeting to speak and may not vote. You must sit at the side of the auditorium.
If you have any questions, please send them my way and I will do my best to provide answers.
Sincerely,
Sarah Cannon Holden, Lincoln town moderator
Weston Road
