I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to the Town of Bourne's Assistant Town Clerk - Wendy; as well as the Town Clerk - Barry Johnson. I recently had some business to conduct with these individuals and I am personally amazed by their tact, consideration, and professionalism. Even with the town hall building closed to the public due to the Covid pandemic, they agreed to help me with the documents that I needed and even ensured that I would receive them the same day the documents were requested. I'm hopeful that the entire town of Bourne as well as the elected officials of the municipality realize the value that you have with these employees and continue to hire like minded and hardworking persons of similar nature. Thank you again both Wendy & Barry. Your service to your community is exemplary!

I would like to thank the workers who are driving the snowplows; today I've already cleared the exit of my driveway twice and I'll have to clear it a third time!
