The list, originally started and owned by Rich Coco is still runs threads of Georgetown interest, and have spawned many would-be other google groups in town (liz). FriendsofLonnie_ @gogglegroups.com originally started out as a collection of supporters of Lonnie Brennan's Selectman election campaign. It has evolved [devolved] into a general free-for-all about all things Georgetown, and "list" contains many non-friends. It's quite the howl, and it's quite a community of sharing (and yes, opinion and gossip). Venture forth if you are interested or brave. click here to send us an e-mail to get on the list

COMMUNITY GARDENS
- Plot Plan
- Application
We have open territory to re-claim after laying fallow for years, but it's out back, and you have to be made of stern stuff to re-claim this tough ground.
Final assignments will be made April 1st, then it's just the rear area for those not assigned.
Note: Once you have a plot, you can keep it until you tell us to change (some folks move around, expand/contract, etc.)
WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM OUT BACK, BUT FOLKS WANTING SPACE CAN EITHER GRAB WHAT IS EMPTY NOW, OR WAIT UNTIL APRIL 1 TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE OPENS UP.
We have plenty of room up there if you want
to expand out back (way out back, needs lot of work). Could fit another 70 gardeners...just a matter of plowing it up. Lots of work. Enjoy!

Republican Candidate Forum The Georgetown and Groveland Republican Town Committees along with the 6th District Chapter of MARA are co-sponsoring a Meet the Candidates Debate at Erie 4 fire station, 474 North Street, Georgetown on May 17th at 7 p.m. The debate will be among the Republican primary candidates for the 2nd Essex State Representative seat. The candidates are: If you care about taxes, government expansion, gas taxes, where your money goes & what these candidates have to offer you as a taxpayer, this is the place to be. Think global, but ACT local! This could be the best hour and a half of the election season as we get to know our future state representative!" Anne Tentindo, the Georgetown Republican Town Committee chair enthusiastically said, "I am thrilled to be part of this effort to bring the candidates together. I look forward to fresh ideas and real answers from local decision makers. After having met all of the candidates, I feel each truly has an innate ambition to make government accountable and effective. The challenge has begun. I anticipate an exciting night of healthy debate." "I am excited to be teaming up with the Georgetown Republican Town Committee,” said Leigh Ann Berry, Chairman of the Groveland Republican Town Committee, and Secretary of MARA in the 6th District. “I am certain that our partnership will flourish and we can continue to provide exposure to all state and national candidates leading up to November and beyond.” Sheila Mullins who is the president of the 6th District Chapter of MARA added "MARA is committed to restoring the Republican Party by building it from the bottom up. I am delighted to be working with the Georgetown & Groveland RTC's and thank Erie 4 for making this event possible. This is an opportunity to come to the debate to ask pointed, thoughtful questions in a respectful forum. This could be the best hour and a half of the election season as we get to know our future state representative!" All are welcome. Light refreshments will be available for a donation to help offset the costs of the event. For more information, please contact Leigh Ann Berry at 978.373.4664 or grovelandgop@comcast.net
