Cuppa Joe with Paul on January 12 at Atkins in South Amherst

Town Manager Paul Bockelman will be at Atkins Flagship on West Street in Amherst on Friday, January 12th, from 7:30 – 9:30 a.m. He will be enjoying his usual cuppa coffee and a cider doughnut…and he invites anyone to come in to talk. (He’ll have an extra doughnut for you!)

Paul will be joined by Comptroller and Co-Finance Director Sonia Aldrich. Paul will have just released his budget for FY19 and will be open to talking about his goals and priorities as outlined in the budget. Or you can bring up just about anything!

“This is a great opportunity for us to talk to people…no appointment necessary! We are here to answer questions and listen to concerns, compliments, and, yes, complaints,” said Bockelman. “But I also would love it if people just stopped by to say hi and let us know how we - and you - are doing!”
