The Gazette begins every New Year by recognizing a resident who personifies the spirit of volunteerism, through involvement with local organizations, service to the town on its several boards, committees or commissions, or simply through kindnesses over the course of the year, or a lifetime. The February issue, the first of 2020, will feature our “Citizen of the Year”, selected from the recommendations we receive from residents. Please contact any member of the Gazette with your nominations, email hamptongazette@yahoo.com, or mail to: The Hampton Gazette; P. O. Box 101; Hampton, CT; 06247. We look forward to hearing from you, and of our good neighbors.
