Town Hall is closed Monday

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

One of the great things about “Around Town on the Web” is the ability
to publish corrections to previous information without having to wait
a week for the next issue!

Residents are hereby advised that Town Hall is NOT open this Monday,
February 18th, due to the Presidents’ Day holiday. Residents wishing
to obtain a duplicate copy of their census from the Registrar’s Office
should swing by Town Hall on Tuesday (or later in the week).

However, the drop box for completed census forms is available outside
the front door of Town Hall 24/7, as always.

Apologies for any confusion!

Cathy H-B
