At the April 16 meeting, the Town of Hubbardston Council on Aging board acknowledged receipt of a resignation letter dated April 10, 2025, from board member Bill Lipka.

The secretary read the letter into the record: "Please accept this note as my resignation from the Council on Aging Board. It was a pleasure to serve on it. Enjoy the people I served with. It was time for me to move on and let some other person with new and fresh ideas come on." The letter is dated April 10, 2025.

Board members noted the resignation reduces the board's membership and said they will consider potential replacements and reach out to community contacts. No formal appointment was made at the meeting.

Why it matters: vacancies on the Council on Aging board can affect quorum, committee assignments and the pool of volunteers overseeing senior-center programs. Board members asked attendees to suggest candidates.

Next steps: board members said they will identify possible nominees to fill the open seat and discuss recruitment privately before the next meeting.
