June is here, and with that comes peak strawberry season in the Northeast. Some varieties are even called “June-Bearing” strawberries! The harvest only lasts for about a month, several local farms in and around Seekonk allow strawberry picking. So, get out and get those delicious strawberries while they last. One of my favorite pies is strawberry rhubarb!
June 7, 2021 6PM - Spring Town Meeting
The twice continued Spring town meeting is set to go off Monday June 7, 6pm at the Seekonk High School Auditorium, with additional seating in the gymnasium. Social distancing restrictions and capacity limits have been lifted by the Governor so we are confident there will be plenty of room for all who want to attend. Please try and get there an hour ahead of time to avoid long lines. Also, please know your precinct ahead of time as this will make checking in faster. If you do not know your voting precinct you can call the Town Clerk’s office and we will help you. 508-336-2920. Thanks again for your patience during these unprecedented times. It looks like things are returning to normal.
Absentee Voter Information
In anticipation of a possible special election this summer where the registered voters of Seekonk will vote for or against the construction, renovation and expansion of the Seekonk Public Library and renovation of the Seekonk Connolly Field and Mooney Track, I urge people that have made vacation plans to apply for an absentee ballot. The application to receive an absentee ballot is on our website www.seekonk-ma.gov the Town Clerk page under the heading, “Downloadable Forms”. Please print the form, fill it out and either drop it off in the drop-box outside Town Hall, bring it into the Town Clerk’s office or mail it into Town Clerk’s office, 100 Peck St. Seekonk, MA 02771. For more information please do not hesitate to call the Town Clerk’s office 508-336-2920 and we will be glad to help you.
Dog License Renewal
As of June 1st, Dog License renewals are past due. There will be a $20.00 late fee per dog imposed on license renewals. The license fees are $10.00 for spayed or neutered dogs. $20.00 for un-spayed or un-neutered dogs. If you are late renewing, please remember to add $20.00 per dog to the above fees.
Census 2021 Update
We are still updating census data and will be sending out post cards to residents who did not remember to answer the census this winter. If you receive this post card, PLEASE mail it back so we can update your census information. Failure to respond to census mailings for two consecutive years will result in the removal from the active voting list and may result in removal from the voter registration rolls per MGL Ch. 51 4c. Have a wonderful June and remember the Town Clerk’s office welcomes inquiries from all citizens seeking assistance, or information in relation to services provided by the Town of Seekonk.
