TOWN OF AUBURN
Tothe Residents ofAuburn:
Once more we come togetherto make the decisions that will steerthe course ofthe Town forthe
ensuing year. Each ofus must make this task ourown responsibility. Town government works when we
participate. Without that participation, only a few make the decisions that affect us as a whole.
Once again we were unfortunate to suffer a great loss in 1997. Lt. Donald G. Eaton was a part of
Auburn by virtue ofhis caring service to the town. A resident ofDerrj', we were lucky to have in him a
police officerwho cared above and beyond. Our sympathies go out to his family and the Auburn Police
Department.
The past several years have been difficult as residents wrestled with issues that created polar
division within the town. With the decision making process behind us, we now need togo forward with only
the best interests ofthe Town ofAuburn foremost. Let us work together for the benefit ofthose ofus who
live in the town and care forthe best outcome forthe town.
I would like to thank you for the opportunitv' to serve you these past six years. As I leave the
Board ofSelectmen, I can onlytryto impress upon each ofyou the tremendous feeling ofaccomplishment
which results from public service. As I have inthe past, I urge each and ever>' one ofyou to consider
service tothe town. Granted it can be challenging, but we only meet our potential when we are tested.
Thank you very much.
