Mary "Edie" Meels has announced that she is runing on the
Repblican slate for one of the two open seats on the
Philipstown Town Council this fall.

Rochester, MN, she spent two years with Bishop
O'Grady's Mission in Burns Lake, British Columbia,
followed by two years in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps in
Vietnam field hospitals.
"I am proud to be a member of TEAM PHILIPSTOWN," she
recently said. "The Council is here to serve all
Philiiipstown and should be a leader - a unifying force
in the entire area, not a divisive factor. I beliee that every
resident of Philipstown should feel represented and that
their petitions should be acted upon without delay. I also
feel strongly that there is a need for term limits for
every Council position. I propose that two 2-year
terms be the maximum that can be served consecutively.
"The Council is here to serve all Philipstown and should
serve as a leader - a unifying force to the entire area,
not a divisive factor.
"Edie" Meeks and her husband, Bill have been Philipstown

belong to the American Legion, the Putnam County Historical
Society, Friends of Boscobel and of the Desmond-Fish
Library, the Catfish Pond Association, the Old Road

and the Philipstown Garden Club.
"These groups have impressed me with the importance of
our heritage from past generations. I pledge to do my
part in protecting it.
To sum up her commitment to Philipstown, she says "I
pledge to do the very best I can for my constituents in
Philipstown and to be responsive to their needs."
