Meeting recaps are designed for residents who want to stay informed about important decisions but may not have the time to watch entire meetings. These concise summaries provide key highlights, actions taken, and essential points covered during various meetings - allowing community members to stay updated without committing to lengthy viewing. Whether you’re juggling a busy schedule or just looking for a quick overview, meeting recaps make it easier to stay engaged and informed about the issues that matter the most.

Is there a specific meeting or topic you’re curious about but don’t have the time to watch in full? You’re likely not alone! Many people want to stay informed but find it challenging to fit lengthy meetings into their busy schedules. That’s where we come in - reach out to us at tgregory@TheReadingObserver.com with your request, and we’ll create a recap of the meeting or topic you are interested in. Whether it’s a Select Board meeting, School Committee discussion, or another community meeting or event, we’re here to help keep residents in the loop.
