On Tuesday, March 11, the citizens of Orange will elect 16 town officers (see below). So far it looks like there are open slots for Selectman, Cemetary Trustee, Trustee of Trust Funds, and School Budget Committee.
If you wish to run for office, you must file with Town Clerk Sophie Seace to have your name placed on the ballot. The filing period runs from Wednesday, January 22 through 5 p.m. Friday, January 31. Sophie has regular Town Clerk hours in the Town House on Wednesday, January 29, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Sophie will also be at the Town House on Friday, January 31, from 3 to 5 p.m. to accept last minute filings. Or you may make other arrangements with Sophie (523-7679 or 306-1356) or Deputy Town Clerk Pat White (523-7344).
SELECT BOARD MINUTES: We've just posted the approved minutes from the last two sessions, January 7 and December 16. You'll find them--along with minutes for all of 2012 and 2013, here. They make a good summary of official Orange history!
