Five Things: Financial Town Meeting

Financial Town Meeting: Residents are invited to take part in a vestige of New England’s past, the annual financial town meeting. EG registered voters are eligible to vote “yay” or “nay” on the $58 million budget – if, and it’s a big if, there is a quorum of at least 250 voters. If no quorum is reached, there will be no vote. To read more about the actual budget, click here. There is also a warrant article (off-budget items), which can be seen here. At 6:30 p.m. at the auditorium at East Greenwich High School.

Greenwich Bay Women’s Club meeting: The nonprofit Greenwich Bay Women's Club meets tonight at Atria Harborhill. We will be recognizing Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day.
