Residents of Clinton are gearing up for the much-anticipated Community Day on June 7, as announced by Lisa Metcalf, president of Friends of Clinton, during the recent Town Board meeting. The event will take place at the historical society, fire department, and cemetery, which have generously offered their spaces for the occasion.

Metcalf is actively seeking volunteers to help with the welcome booth, inviting community members to contribute an hour of their time. She also provided vendor forms for those who may have difficulty accessing them online, ensuring that participation is accessible to all. The next planning meeting for Community Day is scheduled for this Thursday at the East Clinton Firehouse, where all residents are encouraged to attend and get involved.

Friends of Clinton is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering local events and enhancing community engagement. Their mission includes promoting awareness and support for local businesses while creating enjoyable experiences for residents. Metcalf highlighted that the organization aims to bring the community together through various events throughout the year.

In addition to the Community Day preparations, the meeting also touched on the recent approval of a senior tax exemption. A board member emphasized that the unanimous decision to protect seniors from tax burdens was a collective effort, underscoring the board's commitment to supporting its senior residents.

As Community Day approaches, the Town Board encourages all residents to participate and contribute to the vibrant community spirit that defines Clinton.
