Tuesday,
September 14 the Raymond Board of Selectman considered a number of items which included
an AARP formal application and an extension of a Peddler’s License.
The meeting began
with Beth Clark, community member and an active participant in a Raymond
Age-Friendly Community initiative, who addressed the Raymond Board of Selectmen
(BOS), representing the 35 member group. She requested official town support to
submit a formal application to AARP, which will provide technical support for
the group’s age-friendly community grassroots initiative.
Briefly, the AARP
Network of Age-Friendly Communities is an affiliate of the World Health
Organization’s Age-Friendly Cities and Communities Program; an international
effort launched in 2006 to help cities prepare for rapid population aging and
the parallel trend of urbanization. The program has participating communities
in more than 20 nations, as well as 10 affiliates representing more than 1,000
communities.
Also under consideration
was the extension of Jalisco LLC dba A La Mexicana’s Peddler’s License. Jose
Manuel Chavez-Mendoza, owner of the business requested an extension until a new
building can replace the previous building, which was destroyed in a fire in
April.
The BOS unanimously
approved to extend the Peddler’s License until December 31, 2017.
