TOWN CLERKIn 2012, I was re-elected as Town Clerk for another 3 year term. I am very grateful and excited to becarrying another term and, most of all, to continue to better this department and make operations morestreamlined and efficient. Thank you to the residents, from the bottom of my heart, for all of yourcontinued support and recognition.The Town Clerk’s Office was very busy with several Elections. As usual starting off the year was thePresidential Primary in January, followed by the annual Town Election in March, the State Primary inSeptember and, lastly, the State General (Presidential) Election in November. I am happy to report thatall four of the Elections ran smoothly and competently. We had numerous compliments about theElection operations from the State, Local officials, and voters. We also have been reaching out to theHigh School to work together to invite 17 and 18 year olds to help at the elections for their communityservice hours. So far, we’ve had a lot of interest and positive attention and it’s a wonderful way to getthe younger community involved and be proud to be a part of their Town’s election process.In April, the Clerk’s Office hosted the Annual Dog Fair at Griffin Park, and again it was a success. Thebusinesses that were present were Granite State Vet, Woof Woof, Rockingham Vet, Karen Reid Reiki,and the Town Clerk’s Office (registering dogs).All year long, we have been collecting emails from residents for both dog and vehicle registrations. Weare using these emails to send out renewal reminders to reduce paper and postage. We are constantlylooking for ways to help save costs for the Town of Windham.In the Town Clerk’s Office, our Mission is always to conduct Town business with efficiency andeffectiveness while catering to our residents. If you want to stop by, the door is always open for anyquestions or concerns.
