The Gazette begins our publishing year by recognizing a resident on the front page of our February issue who personifies good citizenship. Usually, these are folks who volunteer in community organizations and at community events. There were few of those this year, yet there was plenty of neighborliness, and plenty of people who served on various commissions, committees and boards, meeting on virtual platforms throughout the pandemic to maintain important functions of the town.  We also recognize citizens for “life-time achievement”.

Our selection of Citizen of the Year comes from a pool of candidates nominated by residents, so please send your suggestions to: the Hampton Gazette, P.O. Box 101; or hamptongazette@yahoo.com; or contact any member of the editorial board. We look forward to hearing good news of your good neighbors.
