Report of the Town Clerk To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: It is my pleasure to submit to you my annual report for 2016. First, I would like to begin by thanking my staff — Meg, Judy, Jeanne and Sandy, my election workers, my wardens, and my Board of Registrars. They are all true professionals. I would also like to thank Julius Rosales, Frank Aguilar, Joseph Mazzucchelli, Ben Tobin, Jeff Paul, and Bob Mendes. These folks, through the Mashpee Tax Abatement Program, assisted in making your experience at the Sticker Office a most pleasant one. 2016 proved to be a very interesting election year culminating with Presidential Election results that Americans are still talking about to date. We also had a new process that was begun with the November 8, 2016 Presidential Election. Early Voting began eleven days prior to the official election date. I heard many positive comments over the course of the eleven days. This being a new concept there were some issues that the Commonwealth will be addressing for the November 6, 2018 State Election. More voters cast their vote through the Early Voting period than on Election Day. 2016 Town Clerk Revenue Since 1998 when I first began as the Town Clerk, I have had the good fortune to acquire many close friendships with the residents of Mashpee; however, with each passing year it also gets harder to say good- bye to so many of these wonderful souls. My staff and I wish to convey our deepest sympathies to you and yours if you lost a loved one last year. They will all be remembered in our hearts and our minds. May you all have a safe, healthy, and happy 2017. My staff and I shall always continue to serve you, the residents of Mashpee, with a smile.
