Social Service Agencies

Text of 2011 Town Warrant Article 12

This article raises and appropriates $70,234 for 14 Social Service agencies providing services to Raymond residents. This is $14,113 less than last year because the American Red Cross–Manchester Chapter did not appear before the Board of Selectmen to request funding ($1,200 in 2010)¹ and the Rockingham Visiting Nurse Association does not require funding from Raymond this year ($12,913 in 2010). Tax cost: $0.07 per $1,000 of tax valuation.

A YES vote will contribute to the Social Service agencies that serve Raymond residents.

A NO vote will not provide any Raymond funding to these agencies.

Reasons why some voters might vote yes:

• To help support agencies serving Raymond.

Reasons why some voters might vote no:

• Personal objections to one or more of the agencies.

References:

1. The Board of Selectmen has traditionally required a representative of each Social Service agency to appear annually to offer an update on services to Raymond residents.
