On Sept 10th there will be a special election to determine who fills a vacant seat in the senate for our district. We do our best to get all interested residents registered to vote, address changed, and application to vote absentee completed so that everyone can exercise their right to vote and we don't have to worry about weather or transportation preventing us from doing our civic duty. If you have any questions about this process, please see Nancy our LEC. Quincy Resident of the Month-Marie Keith Just about every month our Resident of the Month says, "I don't have anything interesting to tell" and just like with all the others, Marie has proven herself wrong. Marie was born in Loraine as the middle of 3 children. She attend- ed Loraine schools until her Senior year when she had to transfer, with 2 other students, to the high school in Mendon because Loraine schools did not offer a senior year to their students! However, this change in schools turned out to be very good because that young, strapping school bus driver became her husband of more than 60 years! Marie worked for attorney Mark Penick until she and Lefty had their first child and didn't return to work until both of their girls, LuAnn and Beth, were in school. Marie then worked part time for the Mendon village receiving resident's water bill payments as well as volunteering at the girl's school and at church. Marie's husband built their first home and when they found that a family of 4 didn't fit in a small home he built them another one as well as a new post office for the village. Marie has enjoyed crocheting & sewing and sewed many of her girl's clothes.
