Responses were collected and will be incorporated into a quilt being created by a Mashpee Middle -High School Senior for her senior project.

We have accomplished much in the 16 years that I have had the privilege of working for the Town of Mashpee, and many of the new features, enhancements and products we have provided to our town employees and residents would not have been possible without funding and support that our department receives from the Selectmen's office and the Mashpee Cable and Advanced Technology Advisory Board. I would like to thank the members of the Information Technology and G.LS Departments, Bruce Stello, Clay Nicholson, and Ken Taylor for their continued hard work and efforts to maintain, enhance, and secure our network environment and service offerings for Residents and employees of the Town of Mashpee. The Town of Mashpee private network enables secure transmission of Data, Voice, and Video content between 13 Town and School buildings through a combination of fiber, wireless, and broadband technologies. 144
