Morning Minute: Friday, December 13, 2019

News About Town: We asked about recycling glass and the Town clarified: glass was accidentally omitted from the postcard that was mailed out. It should be included on the Please Recycle list.

Yesterday the Town hosted a Holiday Lunch, and dinner for those who work later shifts, for town staff. The lunch, held at Crews Road Rec Center, was filled with the holiday spirit, more than a few ugly sweaters, and plenty of Matthews pride. Staff enjoyed a meal of turkey, stuffing, and more before Parks and Rec hosted musical bingo.
