Citizen’s Budget Workshop

A second opportunity for residents to learn more about the budget process will be held on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Town Hall Council Chambers.  Similar to the first budget workshop, Dr. Feser and I will present information on how we formulate our proposed budgets, including the challenges faced when prioritizing budget allocations.   

The workshop is held in an informal setting and will also include an opportunity for participants to contribute their thoughts and ideas in a discussion regarding the goals and challenges of preparing the fiscal year 2008 budget.

There’s a lot to do in Windsor

Copies of the winter edition of There’s a lot to do in Windsor were delivered to residents during the last week of December with the Reminder Community Newspaper.  In addition to January through April programs and activities, this issue includes the Citizen’s Guide to Windsor’s Town Budget – basic information about the budget process.  Extra copies of the brochure are available at all town facilities or by calling 285-1835.

 
 

Annual Holiday Toy Drive

The Annual Holiday Toy Drive was held on December 9th and 10th at the Public Safety Complex.  Numerous new toys and $1,500 were collected during the drive. 

On December 15, volunteers from Trinity Methodist Church, the Town of Windsor, School Family Resource Centers, Emergency Medical Services and the community distributed the toys to 115 families.  The gifts were warmly received by 253 children.

In addition to all of the toy distribution volunteers, we would like to thank the Windsor residents, Chamber of Commerce and local businesses that made donations to this year’s successful toy drive.

 
 

Recognition of Services

As we start a new year many opportunities lie ahead.  It is also a good opportunity to reflect on our past efforts and accomplishments and to say thanks.

Windsor has a great history and a solid foundation from which to build upon.  Our quality of life in town is one we all should be proud of

            We have safe neighborhoods

            Nice parks and open space

            Vibrant businesses

            And great community spirit

I would like to thank the Mayor and Town Council members for all of your time and dedication this past year and look forward to a fantastic 2007.

I would also like to thank all of our community partners, volunteers and citizens who help make Windsor the best it can be. 

Lastly, my thanks go out to each town employee for their dedication, hard work and commitment to serving our citizens each day.
