Town Meeting Member Dunn is a lifelong Saugus resident who worked for four town managers in 23 years before retiring. She said she got involved with Town Meeting to give back to her hometown. “We’re working to make Saugus what it should be,” she said of the role of her and others in Town Meeting. Dunn said she shared many of the same views as Bell about what the precinct’s most pressing challenges are. Dunn stressed that it was important for citizens in Precinct 1 to work through their Town Meeting memes to address important issues in their neighborhood. “When we start to have Town Meeting, let us know how you feel, because if we don’t hear anything, we vote by our hearts and what we think is right for the town,” Dunn said. “We’d like to know your opinion. Because unless we hear, we might not think of it,” she said. Town Meeting Members of Precinct 1 Susan C. Dunn 781-233-7844 Anthony Roger Arone 781443-4650 Christopher Jones 617-8519554 Mark J.

Two $5,000 scholarships will be awarded to students who have an interest in or are considering a career in human services and who have made an impact in their community or the world through community service. The Lique Human Services Scholarship will be awarded to two seniors who attend one of the eight high schools located in GLSS’ service area — including Saugus High School. The scholarship is named in memory of Vince Lique, the Agency’s long-time Executive Director, who devoted his career to helping others, particularly vulnerable senior citizens and people of all ages with disabilities, demanding that all people be treated with dignity and respect. “Vince’s legacy is fi rmly rooted in his compassion for people. He measured success by the quality of his service to and advocacy for others,” said Kathryn C. Burns, GLSS’ Chief Executive Offi cer. “I believe in Vince’s theory that one’s individual success is directly related to the benefi ts received by those around us. The Lique Human Services scholarship honors the man and his service by encouraging others to do the same.” Applications are available through each high school’s guidance offi ce or can be completed online at www.glssnet/LiqueScholarship. Completed applications are due on or before Friday, April 7.
