Todd,
If it’s OK with you I’m going to post this on the L-Ternative. Thanks in
advance, and well said!

To All Warwick Residents,
We are fast approaching the Spring Town Elections and the Annual Town
Meeting. We are running short on candidates for several offices in town. See
Rosa's notes below where she has provided all of the needed information to
obtain nomination papers and deadlines, along with all open positions
including seats up for re-election. We really need these positions filled in
order for our town government to operate smoothly. There are a lot of
dedicated people doing a lot of voluntary work behind the scenes. There a lot
of people in town that are on the L and the town facebook page that follow
what is going on, We the members of the Select board are asking for folks to
step forward and take out nomination papers. I know there are those who say
they are too busy, or do not have time. It is like anything else, we just
have to make the time if and do it. Even I had no idea how many people in
town are taking part in committees and groups doing their part working for a
cause they believe in. Right now we are facing one of the biggest realities
ever to face Warwick, permanent closure of the Warwick Community School. The
School Committee is taking this up at their March 28th meeting at the Pioneer
Regional School. Once they vote, and if the vote is closure Warwick's school
will closed for next September. We will have a big empty building that the
town has to figure out how to repurpose and pay for. You would not believe
how many people have been involved for the last two years working on this,
our own Warwick Community Education Task Force is made up completely of
residents. Some are holding duel rolls such as School Committee Members,
other town boards and committees all trying to work things out. The PVRSD
deficit is not new, this has been piling up for many years. We need your help
in running our town, most everyone is volunteer and some positions have a
small stipend but that is not the reason people do this. I want to encourage
folks to contact Rosa and pull the papers and run. Take your sheet to the
library or the transfer station and get them signed. If you have questions
call the town clerk or ask someone that already holds a town office. Also,
please attend the annual town meeting in May and vote at the election.
Thank you,
Todd Dexter
Selectmen
