Politics, Fireworks, Rain Plans, & News

At Noon today the folks who were elected/re-elected to the Greenfield Town Council, school committee, and various trustee positions will be sworn into office during a ceremony on the town common. Our station manager will be there so that we can bring you the event in its entirety next week. If it rains, though the forecast says it won't, the swearing in will take place in our studio at 393 Main Street, 3rd. Floor.

Immediately following the ceremony, the council and school committee will hold reorganizational meetings to choose their leadership for the coming year. The meetings will take place on the 2nd floor of town hall, in the meeting room, unless it rains. In that case, they too will occur in our studio.

Rain plans have also been made for Greenfield's annual fireworks display on Saturday night. In the event of rain, the celebration will be moved to Sunday. If you want more info. on the festivities, check out the first short piece that our new part-time staffer Ian created for our website. You'll find it at the top of the homepage, simply click on the "Fourth of July" tab.

Another addition to our personnel roster also produced his first news story this week. Please join us in congratulating new intern Dan for his interviews with college students participating in a New England Climate Summer bicycling tour. You can check out his work on our homepage as well.

Finally, we'd like to remind you about two upcoming office closures. We'll be off on Monday, July 4th, for the Independence Day holiday and we'll be closed Tuesday through Friday of the following week for renovations. From July 12th to July 15th new carpeting will be installed throughout the facility while our staff cleans, organizes, and paints. Those of you familiar with the condition of our floors know that this is a very good thing. In addition, all of these improvements will help to free up more space for producers to work in and increase efficiency.
