I want to congratulate John on his win and also thank everyone who came out to vote yesterday.  I had a great time meeting new people from town,  talking to people with concerns and hearing stories about Fairfax.  I appreciate the snacks, hot cocoas and coffees, bootwarmers and extra socks ,from old friends and new, that kept me warm and full for the 9 hours I was outside yesterday!  This is a wonderful town we live in and I will continue to participate and contribute in any capacity I can.   Thanks for all the support!

Melissa, You are to be congratulated for your persistance on an extremely cold day as you stood out there in the cold greeting people.  I was inside and wore my winter jacket inside the Old Gym, I can't begin to imagine how cold you must have gotten standing outside greeting people.  There will be other years and other opportunities for you.  I am sure people enjoyed meeting you.

Melissa, I want to congratulate you on losing by less than 100! I think that says your message was heard by people. I remember speaking with you and you had a very positive attitude  about how this might turn out, so I feel I can congratulate you on the narrow margin.Henry is right there is time, you can try again next year for a seat on the board and build that  support base in the mean time!

All the Best

Melissa;

Great job! I have had people comment on your greeting them and how impressed they were with you. I voted at 8:30am and must have missed you???
I'm very proud of your determination and hope that you run again in the future.

Melissa you really ran a great campaign and your diligence will really be appreciated in time to come.  I think that we can be constructive for the entire community when we work together in time going forward.  You are and asset for this community and I applaud your sense of wanting to affect how the town government is run.  You will definitely be a person that we will look to for advice on issues that affect those things of which you have interest.
