The League of Women Voters of Lexington will present a Candidates Night on
Thursday, February 16, at the Clarke Middle School on Stedman Road. The snow
date is March 1 also at the Clarke Middle School. An annual event presented by
the League to encourage greater participation in Town elections, this is an
opportunity for candidates to present their positions on the issues and to
listen to their constituents' concerns.
In the first part of the evening, candidates for Town Meeting will gather in
assigned classrooms to meet and exchange ideas with voters from their own
precincts. In the second part, the audience will meet in the school auditorium
to hear the views of people seeking Town-wide elective office, after which a
League moderator will preside over a question and answer period. The evening
will be informative and provide a lively forum for discussion of topics that
will be voted upon at Town Meeting.
Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and precinct meetings will start at 7:30. The
meeting with Town-wide candidates is scheduled from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. There is
no admission charge and the public is encouraged to attend. For further
information, call the League of Women Voters at 781-862-6435.
