Week Ahead September 15-20th

Hello Cool Cats,

We are busy getting back into the swing of things as summer heads into fall.

While we've been enjoying summer's last offerings, we learned about the new WilliNet "civic-engagement tool" that allows viewers of recorded meetings to be able to jump to agenda items you are most interested in…(watch & learn about it here). Kudos WilliNet for making the content on your platform more accessible and user friendly!

Please note there is a Welcome to Williamstown event happening at the Library on the 18th at 6pm. This event is designed for people who have recently moved to town — or who still feel “new in spirit” — and want to get more connected. Hope to see you there!
