Citizenship week goes to Maplewood town hall


Campers learned about local government and town meetings.  Town clerk Liz Fritzen led the kids in a town meeting in which they learned how to get a stop sign placed at a dangerous intersection. They learned about how the town government is designed to keep the residents informed of issues and laws and fosters their input.  She also explained the difference between an ordinance, resolution, and proclamation  She also explained how town government can be a vehicle for resident to communicate with the state and the federal government. 
Here the kids are in the very office where the township committee meets.
