Dear Staff,
During this time of Thanksgiving, please accept my deepest appreciation for everything that each of you do to make our Town government one of the most responsive and successful in helping residents and businesses daily.

Working for/with you during the past 5 years has been an amazing opportunity for me to feel the vitality of community service, especially arising from your dedicated and selfless teamwork. I appreciate your high standards, your persistence and your sacrifices.

While we may occasionally start the day waking up on the wrong side of the bed, for the overwhelming part of each year our residents see smiling faces and encounter the positive attitudes that each of you bring to your job. You have managed successfully to address the issues and concerns of our residents. I am proud of the way you have come up with options and solutions.

THANK YOU for all that each of you do to make both me and the rest of the team thankful, therefore as a sign of appreciation we have decided to close the Town Hall at 2pm on Wednesday November 23rd.

I hope that you have a great holiday with the people in your life who matter most. Have a wonderful long weekend filled with good things.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Dr. Richard L. Thurston
