While towns and school districts continue to prepare their budgets in anticipation of town and school meetings in March, a Friday, Jan. 30 deadline looms for anyone who intends to file for public office. Volunteering to serve on local boards has been a long-standing tra- dition in the North Country, and one only has live here for a couple of years to meet any number of men and women who gladly carry on this tradition of public service. For some, though, like Connie Philbrook Leger in Shelburne, who passed away recently, serving her friends and neighbors was a way of life. She didn’t do it for the recognition, she did it because she acknowledged that it is the duty of everyone who lives in a town to make that town better in some way. Her way was through serving on public boards as well as by volunteering her time in innu- merable other ways to improve the land and the lives of her fellow cit- izens. There are many, many others like Connie who give of their time and energy — in fact, there are too many to count in each town. Now is the time if you were intending to volunteer for a board to sign up and put your name on the ballot. Most volunteers who do so are glad for the experience. It is hard work, no doubt, especially on PENGUIN PLUNGE those boards that are involved in controversial issues, but the payoff Excited to take teh Penguin Plunge for the tenth annual Special Olympics, a sturdy group of dedicated volunteers will jump into is in knowing that you have made a contribution, and perhaps a dif- the ocean at Hampton Beach on Feb. 1 as a fundraiser.
