TOWN CLERK

The taxes have been turned into the County and for the third year the taxes were successfully collected with no errors. I am happy to have collected the taxes here in Stafford saving the taxpayers many dollars.

With the help of my Deputy, Jane, we have again used the United Way Day of Caring. This year we were able to weed and mulch the south side of the Town Hall and walkway to the Museum and started painting the hallway, Board Room and Copy Room of the Town Hall. This was completed with volunteers of Tom Radley, Joe Frongetta, Dusty and me. The border was chosen by a great team of Jane, Lori Frongetta as well as me; we were able to paste the wallpaper border with all volunteer hours, NO labor was used and saved many dollars of Taxpayer money; the only expense was the paint, border rollers and brushes.

By now, you have received your Spring Newsletter, I hope you saved it for any information you may need and look for the next edition to be published this fall for new information.

Please take a look at my summer hours as I will close on Fridays July and August.

Thank you for all your support.

Your Stafford Town Clerk,
Barbara Radley
