Rockingham Selectboard will create brightest possible future

I want to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who participated in Rockingham's Selectboard elections.

It's been such a rough year on all of us. Pandemic fears and restrictions made voting in our town elections especially challenging - not to mention the brutal weather! Nonetheless the total vote wasn't a great deal lower than last year's.
