There is no such thing as too many “Shout-Outs” in any given week. The more the merrier. Here are this week’s nominations: Arelene and Eugene Decareau – “A very big thank you shout out to Corinne Riley and all who participated in Sunday’s candlelight vigil. It was a very moving experience.” Jeannie Meredith – “for Kevin Nigro and his team at PMA for working tirelessly for our Town and putting in all the long hours to make sure the Veteran’s Memorial School project was completed on time. This was no easy task with Covid creating many delays with materials and manpower. Thank You Mr Kevin Nigro, Sheamus O’Connor and Staff.” Sue Fleming – “I would like to give a Shout Out to all of the town officials, Clergy … much appreciated as a reminder of those lost during this sad time. We have so much to be thankful for and so much left to do to put this behind us. Thank you.” Jeanie Bartolo – “This Shout Out goes to Corinne Riley, Selectmen, for coordinating the Candlelight Vigil held Sunday night in front of Town Hall. The Service brought the Town’s people together for a moment of prayer and reflection for the loss of over 400 Saugonians who have passed away during the COVID pandemic. It was also an opportunity to honor our front line workers; Fire, Police, Ambulance, Schools, Board of Health and Bisbee’s Funeral Home. Thank you Corinne for bringing us together to remember our loved ones.” Want to “Shout-Out” a fellow Saugonian?
