Thank you for allowing us a minute on Monday's agenda to introduce the <br /> program to the Selectmen. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br /> RECOMMENDATION/ SUGGESTED MOTION: <br /> Motion to endorse the League of Women Voters Program planned for October 10, 2013, about <br /> Violence in Media. <br /> STAFF FOLLOW-UP: <br /> Selectmen's Office <br />
