You are notified to meet for the First Session of the Annual Town Meeting...

Note from the MCA: The following is from the Town of Wakefield's web site which posts the Town Warrant. As you read the following you will note that it sounds a lot like Traditional Town Meeting ...and that's because it is! With SB2 Town Meeting does not go away. The only thing that changes is when you vote.
