Hello Neighbors!


1. Job #1: I believe the most important aspect of my job as your alderman is communicating with you. This includes hearing your concerns about our neighborhood, thoughts about upcoming legislation, or other ideas you have for how to make Eastport even better. It includes being responsive with information you are asking about. And it includes proactively providing you information you need to know. 


2. Town Hall next Tuesday evening: The purpose of this email is to invite you to our first Ward 8 Town Hall which will be Tuesday, January 20, at 7:00pm at the Eastport Volunteer Fire Hall.


3. Children may attend: We will have a table in the back of the room with an activity if you would like to bring children.


4. Town Halls Plan: I will host or participate in approximately 11 Eastport town halls per year.  Seven months of the year, I will host a Ward 8 Town Hall, sometimes with a guest speaker and always with an opportunity to ask questions. The president of the Eastport Civic Association, Paul Rankin, and I have coordinated that I will not host Town Hall meetings in the four months ECA is hosting General Membership meetings and at those meetings I will provide a brief Ward 8 Update. And Paul and I will coordinate to host Mayor Littmann at our events for the two town halls he has committed to doing in Ward 8. These events will take place at the Eastport Volunteer Fire Hall on the following schedule:


January 20 - Ward 8 Town Hall

February 19 - ECA General Meeting with Mayor Littmann

March - Ward 8 Town Hall

April 23 - ECA General Meeting

May - Ward 8 Town Hall 

June 18 - ECA General Meeting

July - Ward 8 Town Hall 

August - No meeting

September - Ward 8 Town Hall 

October - Ward 8 Town Hall

November 19 - ECA General Meeting

December - Ward 8 Town Hall


I hope to see you on Tuesday! We will start promptly at 7pm.

All the best, Frank
