As we prepare for a Village in our area, we will begin the process of electing a Charter Commission. This team of 5 people will be responsible for writing the charter that our village will utilize. Chris Laduke will send out a letter with instructions if you wish to join this group. This is a voted-in group, so read the instructions carefully.
