At the Next Parent Council Meeting

Please join us for an evening Parent Council Meeting on October 16th, 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the Fort River Library. We will be hosting a presentation from the Facilitation of Community Choices Committee. This committee is seeking input from Amherst citizens regarding budget choices that will effect Amherst’s budget for the next 5 years. The committee is charged with educating the public about the current budget situation in Amherst, presenting alternative budget scenarios for each area of our budget, and soliciting public feedback with the ultimate goal of making recommendations to the Finance Committee and Town Meeting. They are eager to get public feedback about our priorities for this town. The deadline for submitting feedback is November 4th. The questionnaire and information will also be available online (www.amherstchoices.org) and at the Jones Library. Please see the accompanying flyer for more details. Limited babysitting will be available for this Parent Council Meeting. Please RSVP to Sue Borden if you plan on bringing children. (FRPC.sborden@gmail.com, 253-0140).
