Your Voice in Middlesex
Voting is our clearest civic duty. But you’re not sure about what to do at Town Meeting. Go to the Voter’s Guide to Town Meeting Procedures and learn how. Your opinion is important, and your participation is needed. Vote and make your voice count.
MIDDLESEX TOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT. There are two informational meetings to provide information on the articles to be voted by Australian ballot at Town Meeting.
A meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 (7:00 PM, Town Hall).
A meeting will be held on Monday, March 1, 2004 (7:00 PM, Library).
U-32 SCHOOL DISTRICT. A meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 (6:00 PM, Room 131) to provide information on the articles to be voted by Australian ballot at Town Meeting.

ELECTION YEAR 2004 - A note from the Town Clerk
Our ballot booths will certainly get a work out this year, starting with Town Meeting Day on March 2, 2004.
For every election, if you are unable to get to the polls on the scheduled day, you should request an absentee ballot, or even come on in the office and vote early. Even if it’s just a matter of “I don’t feel like going down there”, request an absentee ballot.
For Town Meeting, we anticipate getting ballots out by Feb. 11, 2004 (the State deadline for town clerks to have all ballots back from the printer). We have all materials needed except for the U32 ballot. As soon as that arrives, the requested absentee ballots will be mailed.
The Town Report is going to the printer this week. We anticipate getting it back and getting it into the mail by the week of the 16th. If at the end of that week, you have not received your town report, give us a call at the office.

Help from the Town Meeting Solutions Committee
Child care will be available during Town Meeting this year! (Tuesday, March 2, 5:00 p.m.) Space is limited, so you must CALL AHEAD! Teen caregivers (with adult supervision) will be glad to take care of a limited number of kids at the United Methodist Church across from Town Hall. Donations will help support this year's Methodist Youth Group trip. If you're interested, please call: Susan Clark, 223-5824.
Do you need transportation to or from Town Meeting this year? The Town Meeting Solutions Committee would be glad to volunteer our help! Just call Susan Clark at 223-5824.
Would you like to help add sparkle to the Middlesex Town Hall before Town Meeting Day? With a big group, just an hour with a vacuum or mop will do wonders. Join us on Thursday, February 26 at 7:00 p.m. (Note: date has been changed and is not February 11 as previously mentioned in Middlesex Monthly.) Any cleaning supplies you may have on hand would be appreciated. Kids are welcome, and cookies will be provided afterwards for all do-gooders!
The Town Meeting Solutions Committee is organizing neighborhood pre-meetings to talk with neighbors about what town meeting is and why their participation is important. Would you like to host or attend an informal living room meeting? Please contact Susan Clark at 223-5824.
