However, I am pleased to report that Town administration, through the assistance of the financial team and department heads, was able to create a balanced budget and serve our residents in the manner to which they are accustomed. I wish to thank our Town Manager, Joyce Mason, Assistant Town Manager Rene Read, Administrative Assistant Kathleen Moore, and Administrative Secretary Carol Deneen for their dedication and commitment. I would like to also extend our sincere appreciation to Eda Stepper, who continues to be a dedicated volunteer who gives countless hours of her valuable time to assist us throughout the year.

I would personally like to extend my sincere appreciation to all those who supported and encouraged me throughout this very difficult year. Respectfully submitted, Don D.
