continues to be a reasonable place for our seniors to remain is my ultimate
goal.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle
this job?

Volunteering in Wilton for the Republican Town Committee, Family and
Children's Agency, Wilton Garden Club, Wilton Library, Girl Scouts and many
other organizations while I have lived in Wilton has served me well. I enjoy
working with others and look forward to any opportunity to help my
town.

The best advice ever shared with me was ...

My father, Edward Bulkeley Griswold, a 41 year resident of Wilton who
recently passed away, gave me invaluable advice to live an honorable, life
focused on giving back to your community.

positions?

Wilton's best interests are in my heart as I have been fortunate to live
here most of my life. I have been lucky enough to grow up understanding and
witnessing the benefits of community volunteerism through my parents efforts
as they have dedicated a great deal of their lives to giving back to our
wonderful town.
