Due to some confusion in the Cavendish Update
on 8/9/13, the following information is being provided:
•
Tonight Monday, Aug 12 is the Select Board meeting.
An agenda was not received for this meeting, but in talking with the town
office, this meeting, which starts at 6:30 pm at the town office, at the town
office will include: Updates on paving; discussion of upcoming hearing on Chubb
Hill; various environmental projects (Zero Sort, Solar, PACE); the burned property
on Mill Street and the 911 Number Signage.
• Chubb
Hill Site Visit/hearing
is August 19 For more information
• Cavendish Communication Meeting: In our ever
growing “information age” people have their own preference for how they wished
to be reached. Since the Cavendish Update (CU) was started, we’ve consistently
added new approaches to help foster communication and to reflect the changes in
social networking. From a weekly e-mail, it’s now grown to include a blog, a
very active Facebook page as well as interactions with other sites. Recently,
Facebook, blog and e-mail were all utilized to help solve who had been robbing
Black River Good Neighbor. This blog post alone had over 5,000 users.
While the CCCA (Cavendish Community and
Conservation Association) has been a consistent sponsor of the CU, and through
their support, has made select board meeting coverage possible, three quarters
of the work involved in the CU has been volunteer. Note that the Town does not financially
support this effort.
As the community and technology evolves, along
with the digital age, requests are being made for new and different services.
When will Twitter be available? What about an on-line calendar? There is also
on-going discussion about establishing a Cavendish Lotsa Helping Hands page to help coordinate volunteers and help where it is needed.
In September, there will be a meeting to
discuss how to make the CU fiscally solvent and what new services should be
added. If you are interested in participating in this meeting, or have
suggestions on this topic, please e-mail margoc@tds.net
