The Town Council adopted a resolution recognizing Martha Ball for more than 50 years of service to the Town of New Shoreham. The resolution, read aloud by a council member, cataloged Ball’s civic roles dating from the 1970s through multiple periods on the Town Council (including service as first warden from 2001–2004), her work in the finance department and as town treasurer, and leadership across boards and commissions including the zoning board, historic district commission, conservation committee and others.
Several members spoke in appreciation; Ball responded with brief remarks about the rewards of civic service and said she plans to remain on the Historic District Commission. The council voted by voice to adopt the resolution and make it part of the town’s permanent record.
Speakers noted other contributors to Ball’s work and service role, including volunteers and staff who assisted over the years.
