Chairman’s Message…

I would like to thank all of the community residents as well as the out-of-town participants, Republicans, Democrats and others, who attended the Tax Day Tea Party held in Medford. I was impressed by the turnout and cross section of the people who showed up for our Tea Party event.

The standout was informal and light hearted and everyone seemed to enjoy the camaraderie.
