There’d be no butterflies.” author unknown
Celebrate with your friends and neighbors – - welcome the newly elected representatives of Pottstown government, Monday Jan. 6th, as they take their oaths of office!! A most joyful occasion to acknowledge much needed CHANGE in leadership in Pottstown…
The Agenda is “Lite” but important things will be decided:
- Who will be the new council president/vice president? Many in the community feel it’s time for a new president!!
Communication, enthusiasm, innovation, accessibility and compassion are just a few qualities it would be great to see in the chosen leader – a refreshing change that would benefit the community.

- Are the same rules of organization going to apply? Robert’s Rules is the adopted standard but, (as we’ve seen & experienced), has rarely been the rule in real life council meeting application. We’d like to see Robert’s Rules understood by council and applied to encourage, (instead of dissuade), public participation in council meetings and decision making processes.
