MONTHLY MEET-UPS

Let’s come together and build a supportive and strong community.
Beginning Friday, January 31st, we are launching our
Monthly Meet-Up at 04:30 p.m. at the Woodbury Brewing Co.
738 Main St. South, Woodbury
We’ll meet on the last Friday of every month to share our thoughts, ask questions, and gain the clarity and support we need to get through this.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Boards, Commissions, and Committees Info Session
Saturday, February 7, 2026
10:00 -11:30 AM at the Firehouse, 25 Quassuk Road.
It’s been said that “Democracy is not a spectator sport;” it requires participation at all levels of government to maintain and reinforce democratic values and institutions.
We encourage you to participate in local, state, and national issues by becoming informed and involved, and by voting in every election and at all referenda.
There are many community-minded volunteers who participate in the governance and in an advisory capacity to the town of Woodbury.
The recently approved town Charter created three new Ad Hoc Committees that will need to be staffed. These new Ad Hoc Committees are the Arts and Culture Committee, the Technology Committee, and the Code of Conduct Committee.
In addition, vacancies due to resignations periodically need to be filled.
If you are interested in learning to participate and make a difference locally, we invite you to attend the information session on February 7, 2026, 10:00 am-11:30 am, at the Firehouse, 25 Quassuk Road.
Please RSVP to ad***@**********ms.org if you plan to attend, and feel free to bring a friend, neighbor, or family member. The more people involved in our town, the better for all.
