Welcome...

     to the third edition of our Truro eNewsletter, created by a volunteer group of townspeople and sponsored by the Board of Selectmen.  Already, well over 400 subscribers receive the eNewsletter monthly.

     Our goal is to make it easier for everyone to stay connected to what's happening here in Truro. And as the new look at the top implies, shine a light on the town and its many facets. 

     Seasonal residents are closing up for the winter, but Truro is still very much alive with activities.

     And the town government, including employees and volunteers are getting ready for next year's budget cycle. Please take a moment to read what the chair of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Administrator have to say.

     Thanks again for reading.
