Though Hurricane Sandy upended many routines, Election Day will look very familiar.
You’ll stride through a gauntlet of candidate signs and vote-for-my-guy (or gal) candidate proxies.
You’ll cast your ballot privately.
As you leave, there’s one final touch of Americana: a bake sale.
This year, those bake sales are special. PTAs from all 8 Westport schools will raise money at the 4 polling centers to support our town.
In addition to brownies, cookies and coffee, donations will be accepted to help Westport recover from Hurricane Sandy. Funds go directly to the town Human Services Department, to buy grocery cards and other items for local families in need of assistance.
Whoever came up with this great idea gets my vote.
My polling place — and a place for donations too.
