Town Clerk and Deputy Have Resigned

From the Select Board:

Please be aware that Tammy Daley has resigned as town clerk, and John Daley has resigned as deputy town clerk. We are actively working to fill these positions as soon as possible, a stumbling block being the requirement of being State certified to perform some of the duties. Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to resolve this situation.

Nature & Recreation Guide to Orange

You’ll find it here, and it’s worth reading for anyone who loves our Town and its natural assets. Don’t be fooled by the title, “Natural Resources Inventory.” The Conservation Commission decided to expand the old version to include as much information about Orange nature as possible.

The report includes Sandi Pierson’s recreation guide to trails, mines, and other features. She also assembled a set of narratives offering insight into the history and current secrets of Orange.

Please join me in congratulating Tammy Daley as Town Clerk, she is going to continue to provide great service to Orange.  As we transition the work load and Tammy is trained on all the many programs and requirements that relate to the Town Clerk position I ask that you have patience with us if the wait time is more than normal, there is much to learn and become familiar with.
