Notes from the Selectboard Chair

Attention All Brookliners,
 
Monday March 3, 2025, is the date of our Annual Town Meeting.  It will begin at 6:00 PM in the Multipurpose room of the Brookline School Building / Day Care.  By a town vote several years ago, the meeting was moved to the evening of the first Monday in March so that residents who work can participate in this most important legislative session in Brookline.  Because we vote from the floor, it is important that you attend in person.  While the meeting will be recorded and put on the town’s website for later viewing, it will not be live streamed.  
 
There are several elected positions that will become vacant this year including the Town Clerk position, three Town Lister positions, two Selectboard seats and one Cemetery Commissioner position.  Other appointed positions will be made at the reorganization meeting of the new selectboard on Wednesday March 5, 2025.  
 
If you would like to be elected as our Town Clerk, a Lister, a Select Person or a Cemetery Commissioner you will need to have someone nominate you from the floor on March 3rd.  If I can be of any assistance in providing you information on these elected positions, please feel free to reach out to me.  DMaggio.BrooklineVT@Gmail.com  or 802-365-7072.  Guy Tanza can be reached at 802-365-4648 at Town Hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on Saturday, February 1 and Saturday, March 1.
 
Residents can enter the school building starting at 5 pm from the front door and go down one flight of stairs to the multipurpose room.  Handicap entrance is behind the school building where you can park and enter on the ground floor.  
 
We would like to ask for a volunteer to plan the Pot Luck supper that is set up in the back of the room.  Please let me know if you can help plan for this pre meeting breaking of bread with your neighbors.  
 
I am looking forward to seeing you at our Town Meeting in 32 days!!!
 
Sincerely,
Dot Maggio
Chair of the Brookline Selectboard
