I have heard from many people about the class. I waited until vacation was over because I knew there would be some last-minute signups. The last one arrived just minutes ago.
The vast majority voted for Monday. But I will make every effort to work with the two who could not make it that day. Let’s get the Monday class off the ground first. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with that day as there are with all days.
Let us plan to meet the first time on the 12th of January starting at 3:45 PM in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room on the second floor of the Town Office Building. That is the building at 1625 Mass Ave very close to the Post Office.
The next week is Martin Luther King Day so there will be no meeting. Then we will have a meeting on January 26th, but then will miss another week because it looks like I have to be in Seattle that Monday.
But let’s get this thing off the ground. Come to the first meeting and let’s discuss some options to perhaps shorten the class and not have to meet every other Monday. Be prepared to discuss some alternatives such as meeting that second week on Tuesday instead of Monday. I know–this scheduling stuff gets complicated. And be prepared to tell me if we can meet at least a few minutes earlier than 3:45 PM.
Adults are welcome, by the way. And needed, I might add, because we will need to form a Board of Selectmen for the last class which will be a Town Meeting to debate and vote on an article.
