January
Mayor of Milton Campaign
Dates:
Nomination Period: closed
Fundraising Period: Now through Monday, May 7
Sponsored by: The Milton 350th Committee
Funds will continue to be accepted for the Mayor of Milton until 7:00 PM on May 7. The purpose of the contest is to have fun while collecting dollars to help pay for Big Event Weekend activities (field day, concert activities, parade, etc.) as well as other fundraising initiatives of the 350th Committee, including the Legacy Gift to the Town.
The Mayor of Milton will be officially recognized while riding in the 350th Anniversary Parade in June 2012. The position carries no official power. Each dollar collected equals one vote. The candidate with the most votes (dollars) wins the “election". Checks should be made out to “Town of Milton” with “Milton 350th” in the memo. 100% of net proceeds, after expenses, raised by a candidate will be donated to the Milton 350th Committee.
All funds are due to Brian Kelley, Chair, Mayor of Milton Campaign, by 7:00 PM on May 7. For questions, please email Brian here.
