Newly appointed Youth Services Assistant Sabrina Smyke, who began her role on October 23, brings a background in domestic violence and child abuse prevention to the Wells library. Originally from Ohio, Smyke expressed her enthusiasm for serving the community in a new capacity. Additionally, Amber Krone joined the town as an administrative assistant in the code enforcement office on October 29, leveraging her strong customer service skills and experience in health care and wellness.
The meeting also celebrated a wave of community support with multiple donations for the Founders Park Community Center.
