Dear Hawley Residents,

I hope this letter finds you all safe and well at home. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we are rescheduling the Annual Town Election to Monday, June 1, 2020 at this point.

The Annual Town Meeting will be the following week, on June 8^th.

If you have more than one voter in your household feel free to make additional copies. If you are unable to make copies and need more forms, please request them from me via email: townclerk@townofhawley.com or by phone: 413-339-4091.
