Greetings Lincoln residents!

Annual Town Meeting is this Saturday, March 29.  The Town is providing as much information as possible in advance to ensure a smooth experience for all.

WEBSITE:

• Please visit our Annual Town Meeting web page for up-to-date meeting information.  It contains links to meeting procedures and materials, services, and background on the key articles being presented. 

LOGISTICS

• Voter check-in begins at 8:30 AM and Town Meeting begins at 9:30 AM sharp!   

• View our Ballfield Road Parking map, which highlights available parking locations as well as the entrance to Town Meeting, so you can plan accordingly. 

• View our Auditorium Seating Map, which provides an overview of the room layout, handicap seating, as well as public microphone locations.  Microphones can also be brought to your seat if you are unable to get to a microphone.

NEW THIS YEAR!

• Electronic voting devices, or "clickers" will be introduced this year in order to expedite hand counts, if necessary.

  • You will receive your clicker when you check in, along with your voter card.  You need both to vote.

  • Article 3 will include a few fun questions to demonstrate the electronic voting process.

  • You should not leave the school building with your clicker!  When you leave, please drop your clicker in a designated receptacle.  

  • If you want to leave and return later, please return your clicker to an attendant and they'll provide you with a "clicker card," which will allow you to get a new clicker when you return.   

FOOD

• Coffee and treats will be served by the Lincoln Girl Scouts throughout the duration of the meeting.

• Twisted Tree Cafe will be offering lunch in the school cafeteria.  View their menu HERE.  We are planning a 45-minute lunch break at some point around midday. 

• If you are new — or still feel new — to Town Meeting, please join the Newcomers Lunch Table in the cafeteria sponsored by the same IDEA Committee that organized the Newcomers’ Party in January. We will be glad to see you! Look for the blue tablecloth and friendly faces.

SERVICES

• We have reserved parking close to the entrance for handicap and mobility-impaired residents. 

• Assisted Listening Devices are available, just approach AV personnel at the console in the middle of the auditorium and they will assist you.

BROADCAST

• The meeting will be broadcast (for viewing only) on your local Cable TV channel (Comcast Channel 8 / Verizon Channel 33) as well as on the Town Website.  

We look forward to seeing you!
