LWVH Town Meeting Study is Progressing -- Save the Date!During our League's 3rd Annual All Member Fall Social on September 23rd, the Town Meeting Study Committee reported on their progress, findings and where we are headed. The main purpose of the study is to increase attendance and participation at Town Meeting. With that in mind, the group surveyed 20 communities and then centered in on 12 towns that have an Open Meeting governing structure. Findings were reported and many ideas were discussed concerning next steps and possible recommendations, and we look forward to hearing more soon from this Committee. A meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 2, 7:30 p.m. , at the Hingham Public Library for final review of the Town Meeting Study and to reach a consensus on recommendations. We hope to see you there. Flowering Bulb Sale/FundraiserSupport the LWVH and get great deals on beautiful flowering bulbs, plantable early fall to late winter (and also great for gifts).
