Weathersfield News August 15, 2016
By now you all know that the first
installment of our taxes were due on Wednesday, Aug. 17. And if you didn't
know-SURPRISE! You owe the town some money. I for one don't mind paying my
taxes because I can see where the money goes. When our Town report comes out
each year, I make sure I read it, especially all the boring budget stuff. So I
know our Town Office staff, Police Department, Elementary School Staff and
Administrators, Library Staff and Highway crews are hard at work keeping
Weathersfield chugging along. Thank you folks!
A big thank you to The Point FM radio Station, The Lebanon Opera House and Lebanon Recreation and Parks. More info about Thursday's show and other music: http://recreation.lebnh.net/home/docs/summer-entertainment
