| The best part of working for the Town is getting to know the people who work along side you. We have a great group of people on staff and we make sure we have fun at work.
Throughout the year we have several activities that bring staff together to socialize and get to know each other. These include last Friday of the month social club get togethers at local restaurants, Employee Recognition each spring, a beautiful Christmas party, and two all staff general assemblies each year.
