Raynham's town officials gathered for their regular meeting to address key community matters and share important updates that impact residents' daily lives.
The Fire Department welcomed two new members to their ranks - Patrick Morton, a Raynham native now beginning his orientation, and Caden Riley from Mansfield who will join in August. The department reported increasing service demands, with calls up 20 runs from last year. Residents should mark their calendars for the annual Fireman's Fishing Derby on May 17th, with registration beginning at 7 AM at the fire station.
Spring brings seasonal health concerns, as Health Director Paula reminded everyone. The Bristol County Mosquito Control Project has begun aerial larvicide applications at Hockomock Swamp. With tick season underway, residents should take precautions like applying Permethrin to clothing and performing tick checks after outdoor activities. The department also emphasized proper maintenance of backyard chicken coops and appropriate storage of outdoor materials to prevent rodent infestations.
The board unanimously approved dedicating this year's town report to Reverend James Tilby, recognizing his extensive service as a longtime call firefighter, department chaplain, Cemetery Commission member, and pastor of Raynham's oldest church. Meanwhile, progress continues on the public safety facility project, with officials working toward a January target for bid results. Memorial Day Parade planning is in full swing, with professional bands already secured and the Bridgewater Raynham Regional High School Marching Band and Robotics Team set to participate. Speaking of the robotics team, they're heading to Houston for the World Championship competition - just one example of the excellent achievements happening in local schools despite funding challenges.
Want to participate in the Memorial Day Parade or help plan this important community event? Attend the next planning meeting on April 28th at 6:30 PM in the Town Hall Municipal Meeting Room, or contact the volunteer coordinator for more information.
