From the Town Clerk

Posted

Happy February - By the time everyone reads this article Ground Day February 2, will be over. I can only hope it was a cloudy day for Punxsutawney Phil and he did not see his shadow because as folklore has it, if it’s a sunny day and he sees his shadow, we will have six more weeks of winter weather!

Annual Census Update
By now you should have received your 2018 Annual Street List/Census form in the mail. Thanks to the hundreds of residents who have already mailed it in, or dropped it off. Lorraine and I are busy scanning them in and making the necessary changes. We have had a few people write in a political designation by their name. I would like to remind everyone that you cannot register to vote, or change your party affiliation, on your census form. If you want to register to vote you can go online to www.123voter.com, or come into the Clerk’s office. I would also like to remind people that there are multiple ways to return your census: mail it in, drop it off in the Town Hall drop box, or Town Clerk’s office. Drop it off at the Seekonk Sr. Center, or the Seekonk Public Library. You can also scan it in and email it to:
fcraig@seekonk-ma.gov

We are also up and running with processing 2018 dog licenses. Please remember dog tags expire on March 31, 2018. You can come into the Town Clerk’s office to renew, or mail in the form with a check and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Please send a self-addressed envelope and a stamp for each dog you are requesting a license for. We will send the dog tag(s) back to you in the mail. It is Massachusetts general law that dogs be licensed annually, with proof of a current rabies vaccination. Failure to comply may result in a by-law citation fee.

2018 Annual Rabies Clinic
The 2018 Annual rabies clinic, for both dogs and cats, will be held Saturday March 10, 2018 at the Seeking Public Works Department on the corner of Route 44 and Lake St. The fee will be for the rabies vaccine will be $12.00 cash only.
