For many years, I have been an active member on various boards and committees that helped “run” the town of Deerfield. My professional job and my volunteer Deerfield committee work has helped me realize the importance for voting David Wolfram as a Selectboard member. He is a no nonsense person, does not believe in smoke and mirrors, and has plain common sense with full transparency.

Over the years, I have served on the following committees and boards: Planning Board (6 years) Deerfield School Committee (9 years) and Frontier School Committee (12 years) Building Committee for the Deerfield Elementary School Deerfield Zoning Board. My work on these committees and boards solidified my belief that David Wolfram needs to be our next Selectboard member. David hopes to accomplish these goals as a Selectboard member. Town set up a dumping system for septic users. Current plant is large enough to accommodate this possibility. When David was a Selectboard member, the cost for the new library was $4 million with the grant. Cost has increased dramatically from the initial discussion. Oversight of new library construction costs is important. David will review the practicality for the senior housing project on the St. James property. Senior Center thoughts are part of his platform. David is interested in looking at the Congregational Church as an option for the senior center. David is also interested in looking at the present town hall as a senior center option. David stated the Selectboard needs to secure grant funding for the proposed senior center. David Wolfram has strong goals for the town. His leadership style, knowledge of town committee functions, and personal character make David the strong leader the town of Deerfield needs.
