Volunteers Nancy Zitka, Mike Barry, and daughter Katie Barry gather signatures.

Volunteers from Save Our Schools were out at the Seveney Sports Complex tonight gathering signatures for the budget referendum, and had picked up about 20 during their first hour staffing the table. If you're headed down for soccer, the table is set up right inside the first parking lot as you enter, and volunteers will be there tomorrow evening as well.

Tomorrow, there will also be a rally at the intersection of East Main Road and Turnpike Ave, beginning at 4:30pm.

For drive-through convenience, there will be "sign and drive" stations set up Thursday and Friday from 6-9 am and 4-7 pm at the high school.
