Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Natick Charter Commission Signature Committee fire pit tonight on the Cochituate Rail Trail! We had fun talking to everyone about our activity about what we ❤️ about Natick and also talking about the petition that could be signed by Natick voters to add the charter question on a future ballot that will ask Natick voters whether or not if they want to create a Charter Commission. Happy New Year!

A Charter Commission is an elected 9-member committee tasked with developing a new Charter. When we reach our goal of petition signatures, that will unlock a generational opportunity to serve our community.

Is it the right volunteer job for you? For starters, take a look at our campaign guide for candidates:

👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 Please sign the Charter Commission petition for a fresh, independent look at Natick's governance!

On Saturday, October 28 you can sign at the Farmer’s Market and Spooktacular at the Town Common. Look for volunteers with clipboards, or stop in at 31 South Main Street next to Sweetwater.

Signing does not commit you to a position on a new Charter - it just means that the voters deserve a say. A Charter Commission is supported by 5 out of 5 Select Board members, 6 of 7 School Committee members, and local leaders from the Natick Democratic and Republican Town Committees, Town Meeting and other local civic institutions.

Learn more at NatickCharter.org, and thanks for signing on!
