All discussions and votes taken at Town Meeting matter therefore your participation matters.

Town Meeting is a great time to get together with your neighbors that you may not see often and discussions are generally pretty interesting. It's hard to state what time articles come up for discussion but each article is taken in order as they appear in the Warrant and presenters have five minutes to outline the matter. Checking-in and finding a seat are two other things to consider if trying to figure out when to arrive at the football field.
