Please consider if you would like to nominate someone or yourself for this 2 year position on the Parish Council.

Members at large are expected to attend the monthly meeting of the PPC and to assume leadership responsibility with new or current initiatives of the council. We accept up to 6 nominations for the election of 3 positions of members-at-large each year.

To nominate someone or yourself, please contact Nancy Dawes at tiann3@msn.com.

For the candidates who will run for the 3 positions, we need a one paragraph bio about yourself and a head shot photo that will be posted with the election information and voting by Tuesday June 15.
