CORRESPONDENCE:
Supervisor Guelli read a letter from NYS Town Clerk of the Year Chairperson that commended Marcia Englert on being nominated for the award this year. Annually, one Clerk is selected for this prestigious honor because of the high degree of professionalism demonstrated in serving their office. The final decision, being very difficult, had to be made by an independent group. Although Marcia was not named Clerk of the Year, she reigns as our perpetual CLERK OF THE YEAR.

After a standing ovation, Marcia received the letters that were sent to the Town Clerks State Association.
