&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; 729 Route 41

&= nbsp; &nbs= p; &= nbsp; Homer, NY 13077

&nb= sp;

My affiliation with the Town of S= pafford began when I married my husband over twenty-eight years ago. I registered a= s a Republican at eighteen and have always been interested and active in our to= wn. Several years ago, I became a member of the Spafford Republican Committee a= nd have been very active with our town activities (Spafford Cemetery Committee= and Spafford Ethics Committee). My philosophy is that I would like to have all = our families remain in the area and give their children the opportunity to grow here as we have with our two sons. Though our children are now grown, I am committed to working toward that goal. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from SUNY Cortland with a BA in Communications and a minor in Management. I chose this path because these areas of expertise are so important in all areas of life. Being employed as a civil servant for over twenty-two years also shows my commitment to government. Most recently, I have served as Interim Assistant Director of Physical Plant at SUNY Cortland. This endorses my ability and responsibility to manage and lead a diverse group/department. For several years, I have been managing a budget of over $9 million; therefore, I am al= so very aware of what is necessary in the fiscal area. I look forward to your support, it is important to me that the best interests of all be represented in our town. Thank you in advance for your vote!

I = have been your Town Clerk since 1998 to the present. The time I have spent as To= wn Clerk has allowed me to learn many facets of the position.

Due to my attendance at these sessions, I am able to pro= vide the residents of the Town of S= pafford with current information regarding licenses, fees and laws that affect the workings of my office. It was through the Onondaga County Clerk’s Association that I obtained authorization to process passport applications.. This service is not offered in every town. I have modernized the Town Clerk’s office with newer technology and systems; yet the atmosphere = has remained welcoming and casual. My husband and I reside here with our three children. We are committed to being part of the community. I try to set my office hours best to serve everyone, thus both weekday and Saturday hours. = As the first door to local government, the Town Clerk’s office is friend= ly and courteous to all that enter.
