Letter: Step Up to Join Greenwich RTM District 9 Committee

Submitted by District 9 Chairperson Betsey Frumin.

RTM District 9 has four openings. We will be filling these openings at our District meeting on Thursday, September 11th, 7:30 at the Bendheim Western Greenwich Civic Center.

The RTM (Representative Town Meeting) is Greenwich’s legislative body. We have 230 members from the 12 Districts into which Greenwich is divided. In order to serve on the RTM you must be a registered voter from the District. District 9 encompasses most of south eastern Greenwich running from the Post Road in the south to the end of Bailiwick in the north. The western side of Weaver Street and the western side of Riversville Road are the eastern boundaries. The State line and the Merritt are the western boundaries. We cover Glenville, Bailiwick, West Lyon’s Farm, Pemberwick and everything in between.

If you want to see your government in action and if you want to make a difference consider joining. If you want to learn about what makes Greenwich work consider joining. If you want to have a say in how your Town tax dollars are spent consider joining.

The time commitment is a maximum of 24 meetings a year. There are eight full RTM meetings each year. We meet at Central Middle School at 8 p.m. on Monday night. There are eight District meetings at 7:30 at the Western Greenwich Civic Center on Thursday night. If you are assigned to a Committee that would be an additional possible eight meetings. For your first year you would be an alternate to a Committee.

District 9 has 20 seats but we have no representation from either West Lyon’s Farm and the surrounding area from Bailiwick and its surrounding area. Please consider joining us to make Greenwich better.
