SEPTEMBER 2020
Fall Town Meeting season is here and - with many towns making up for lost time due to COVID-related postponements and cancellations - there are lots of updates to share!

Some towns on the Cape proceeded with holding their Annual Town Meetings and elections in the spring/early summer, as is customary. Others postponed their Annual Town Meeting or combined it with the "special" Town Meeting format typically seen in the fall season. All have had to make COVID-related adaptations to keep meetings and elections safe and accessible through the pandemic.

We've updated our quick and easy Town Meeting + Local Election reference graphics and have compiled a comprehensive list of info for all of the Cape's 15 towns, complete with links to find additional info, like your Town Meeting warrant (agenda). Check out all the info, up on the CCYP blog now!

Need a primer or refresher on Town Meeting lingo and how the Town Meeting process works? Check out our Intro to Town Meeting slide deck, or the very informative Citizen's Guide to Town Meeting, created by the Office of the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth to get up to speed!

Huge thanks to many generous donors who supported Team CCYP in this year's New Balance Falmouth Road Race At Home Edition! CCYP’s second year in the Falmouth Road Race's "Numbers for Nonprofits" program was a huge success, with our dedicated team of runners busting through their $3,500 fundraising goal for this year with a total of $4,370 raised!

Donations will be accepted through October 31 so there's still time to support our team! Funding raised through the Falmouth Road Race provides critical unrestricted funds for CCYP to sustain programs like the Back to Business Bash, our civic engagement education (during this important Town Meeting/election season), CCYP's Online Job Board, and much more.

During a truly challenging year for so many non-profits, activities like the Falmouth Road Race give CCYP an extra boost that keeps our organization strong when the community needs us most. THANK YOU!
