From: Town of Old Lyme

Feb. 14, 2023: Beginning Tuesday afternoon, our Town website will have a different look. A team at Town Hall has been hard at work with our website host, CivicPlus, to upgrade and improve our existing site. Although the website will have at the ready everything you need to know for upcoming meetings and other news items, historic files are continuing to be moved over to the new format, and we ask for your patience in that process. As always, printed versions of all historic agendas and minutes are available in the Town Clerk's office. Because of the important communications role our website played during the pandemic shutdown, the Town allocated American Rescue Plan grant dollars to upgrade the website to ensure it continues to serve the public in the coming years. We hope as you explore the website you come to enjoy its new features.

Feb. 17, 2023: Due to planned technology upgrades, the Town Hall computer network and phone system will be unavailable on Friday, February 17th, from noon to closing. However, the Town Hall will remain open to the public, and we will assist you to the best of our ability without access to our phones or computers. We anticipate a return to normal service when the Town Hall reopens on Tuesday, February 21st, following the President's Day holiday. Thank you for your understanding.

Calling All Veterans! The Senior Center is starting a monthly Veterans coffee klatch. Please join them for coffee, refreshments, and camaraderie on the third Wednesday of the month. This event is co-sponsored by the VFW. Manuel Meneses, CMDCM(SS) USN RET Veterans Representative/Service Academy Coordinator from the office of Congressman Joe Courtney will be the speaker on Feb 1, at 9:15AM. Please call (860) 434-4127 ext 2 to sign up for this free event!

We’ve had some water issues this week. I am happy to report that the low pressure causing issues in the south end of town has been resolved.
For an update on the monitoring of the Region 18 School District’s main campus, please contact Ian Neviaser, Superintendent or Ron Turner, Director of Facilities and Technology.

Last, you don’t want to cook breakfast on Super Bowl Sunday so let the members of the Lyme-Old Lyme LIONS Club cook it for you and your family. Come to the Lyme-Old Lyme High School between 8:00 and 11:30 AM for breakfast, music and much more.  All proceeds will go to the Lions’ scholarships for LOL students. 

Tim Griswold, First Selectman
