Thank you, Reading Votes
So many of you came together to make this happen. Thank you for distributing flyers, contacting family and friends, hoisting signs, and more.
We have worked together and succeeded in building a common-sense dominated Select Board—no small feat!
We hope this victory cheers and emboldens you. We’ve got the momentum to make serious progress on the key issues facing this town. More to come on that.
But this week, celebrate!
Sincerely,
