The town is now accepting Visa and Mastercard as a form of payment. We should note that credit card companies charge a small fee to the town when cards are used. Paying by check does avoid this fee and puts a little more money into the towns budget.
Looking for Budget Committee members. We need one alternate for the Planning Board and two permanent members for the Budget Committee.
There is now a link to the Conservation Commission. The committee meets the first and third Thursdays at the Salmon Falls library. The public is welcome.

HistoricThe Historical Society will be undertaking a survey (photo documentation, primarily) of all buildings in Hollis over 50 years old, beginning in September. We are looking for volunteers, especially those with knowledge of local history, long time residents, anyone with photographic or typing/computer experience, and anyone that just wants to help out.

Interested? Please Contact
