Although most of our communications have correctly indicated that the meeting will commence at 9:30 am on Saturday (in the Blue Hill Consolidated School Gym), the text in the official, posted Warrant indicates a 9:00 am start time. No official business will be conducted until 9:30 am. Despite this, we encourage attendees to arrive early, such as at 9:00 am. It will take some time to check everyone in (identifying Blue Hill residents entitled to vote); there will be refreshments offered for sale in the Gym, with proceeds used to benefit the Consolidated School students.
