Gilford island clean-up day
Once again I took advantage of the island clean-up day this year. I know island residents don't get a lot of services for the tax dollars we spend ( still waiting for the day I come out in the winter and my docks are plowed off), but this is a nice feature! The workers were all friendly and had my pontoon boatload of crap unloaded in minutes! I wonder how many other islanders take advantage of this?

Gilford Island Association President or Board Member
Anyone in Gilford have a name and contact information for someone involved with your Island Association? We are looking into starting one for the Meredith Islands. Please PM me if anyone has some information.

Gilford residents get the facilities at Glendale. What other town has docks reserved for island residents and a police officer on duty at the docks all season long?, and dumpsters? And a place to park and to pick up mail, and public restrooms 50 yards from the docks?

As a long time seasonal Gilford resident I am very impressed with the town employees. From Clint at the Glendale docks to the crew at the recycling center everyone has been extremely helpful and respectful.
Even the town hall staff, when you go in to register a vehicle, jump up from their seats to help you. If you are the second or third person to walk in, a second or third woman steps up to the counter to help you so that you do not have to wait in line. All the employees in Gilford have the "I work for you" attitude that is uncommon in many areas of municipal government in other cities and towns. It is a refreshing change from the attitudes of workers in other communities that seem to feel that they are doing you a favor to address your issues. It is one more good reason to live in Gilford! |

I suspect that some of the town's workers are viewers of this forum and see the praises they get...if not , others most likely pass them on. Pats on the back aren't needed by most people, but they still feel good when you get them!
