Question Four: Please feel free to share any other views about the upcoming Town Meeting. Jeanie Bartolo: The start of the Annual Town Meeting is always exciting for me. I love seeing what we are going to accomplish especially this year with so many new members. To help them (and as a refresher course for us re-elected Town meeting members) with the laws and guidelines of Town Meeting Peter Manoogian, Carla Scuzzarella and Town Moderator, Steve Doherty, and many other guest speakers presented Chris 2024 S o, in a moment of truce, my memories flagging a bit but scratching for all they were worth, I walked past the school that had captured three years of my life, and ever afterward. Things long gone to the wayside, fallen away from everyday thought, found spirit, movement and voice, and came back from their dim repose at the sides of all the roads I’ve long traveled since then.

The odor is as ripe as the long hallways it fi lled the middle of those summers. I sneaked inside the building, anxious to see what had been accomplished, whose initials covered over, what shadow left.

These forums gave all a chance to meet each other before getting down to business on May 6th. I want to thank Mark Vogler and the Advocate for doing this series, and the previous series at the Saugus Public Library (“Saugus Over Coff ee”). I believe it opens a dialogue for the residents to get to know their Town Meeting Members. Bill Brown: I enjoy my time on Town Meeting as it reminds me that we have made it through another winter and town meeting signals the beginning of spring and warmer weather.
