Town Meeting Reimagined:

Remember last year's Town Meeting, where Jericho residents approved moving to an Australian Ballot for our budget vote and other issues and calling for a hybrid-format meeting in advance to prepare for the vote? A group of Jericho residents has been planning what that could look like and NOW JERICHO NEEDS YOUR INVOLVEMENT! The Task Force is ready to put together a team of Jericho residents to organize and lead the first meeting, which we are calling the Kick-Off Meeting. Interested in helping?
