GREAT BARRINGTON — The Town Clerk’s office is seeking a few volunteers to help with on-site coordination of the Annual Town Meeting on Monday, June 6 at 6 p.m.

The meeting will be held drive-in style, at Monument Mountain Regional High School. If the town meeting business is not complete on June 6, the meeting will continue on Thursday, June 9 at 6 p.m.
