On April 24, at the annual town meeting, the voters in Chilmark will vote on Article 11 to allow the sale of beer and wine at restaurants.

As the owner of Chilmark Restaurant Group, LLC which leases and operates Chilmark Tavern, I was the petitioner of the article, and I believe that voting yes on the article will have a positive impact on the Chilmark community.

I would like to welcome everyone in the Chilmark community to join me at Chilmark Tavern/Pathways Gathering Space on Monday, April 3 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the upcoming article on the annual town meeting warrant. This will be an informal, open forum setting to outline the benefits of passing the article, as well as to hear the community’s questions and concerns regarding the upcoming vote. I cannot promise that I will have all the answers that evening, but I would like the opportunity to hear questions and concerns and I will do everything that I can to get those answers and/or address the concerns for the voters of Chilmark prior to the annual town meeting on Monday, April 24.

For those who cannot attend the informational session on April 3 but still have questions, feel free to email beerandwine4chilmark@gmail.com.
