Good afternoon, I would like to share some information with everyone.
First, I am very excited about the veterans day ceremony we have pulled together for the town of Sangerville. It will be at 10:30 Monday morning at the veterans memorial. We will have the Boy Scouts doing the flag part of our ceremony. We have a young man, who I am told is an outstanding musician playing the national anthem for us and we will have the American Legion and a few speakers. Please come out and join us if you can.
Second, work is progressing well on the West Rd., the ditching is almost done, on Monday and Tuesday Scott and Jerry will be doing culvert replacement, so it is possible if need to cross the West Rd. those days, you may be in for a short delay.
Finally, for this post, I want to say thank you to some of our citizens that give extra to the town. I had no idea what goes into an election until Tuesday. When the polls close it is not over and when they open a great deal of work has already been done. Michelle and Kelsey worked very, very hard to make our election process a huge success. Also, our election volunteers: Cheryl Peters, Diana Bowley, and Kathy Willey did not put in just 12 hours, but much closer to 15 when all was said and done with only a few extremely short breaks. Our voter turn-out was 69%. So, thank you to the election staff for doing a great job.
The other group of volunteers in town that is always there and ready to help with anything, even stuff not even remotely related to public safety, are Matt Blockler and the Sangerville Fire Department. They have volunteered to help with everything from tree removal to election set up and about everything in between. As a brother firefighter, this is the group it is natural for me to go to for help, but I do owe each and every one of them a huge thank you.
