Malta Town Councilwoman Tara Thomas
to hold “Cabin Fever” fundraiser

Councilwoman Thomas: “This is a great opportunity for neighbors to thaw out from a rough winter, enjoy great conversations with their neighbors, and network with members of our community.”

Malta Town Councilwoman Tara Thomas invites you to join her at a “Cabin Fever” fundraiser on Sunday, February 27 at Bentley’s Tavern Downtown. The event will highlight Thomas’s accomplishments during her first term and provide an opportunity for questions and comments in a meet-and-greet style – all are welcome.

“I always knew I wanted to be a different type of elected official, engaging the community and working through issues in the open,” said Thomas. “It’s natural for me to host an effort to raise resources for my campaign at a great community establishment that is open to all residents.”

First elected in 2007, Thomas has been a driving force for positive change in the town. Some of her accomplishments include: reforming the town’s Downtown Master Plan; being a pivotal member of the team that facilitated bringing Global Foundries – and thousands of jobs – to Malta; as well as helping to secure $4 million in host community benefits.

Thomas founded the all new non-for-profit Malta League of Arts and is part of continued recreation/open space initiatives with the ongoing planning of the Round Lake Preserve and athletic fields. In addition, Thomas has worked closely with the Village of Round Lake on many key issues and has stood consistently with residents against a town tax.

“I am looking forward to a great time,” said Thomas. “With all the snow and cold weather we’ve had, I welcome the opportunity to get out of the house as I have a bit of cabin fever myself.”

The “Cabin Fever” fundraiser will be held at Bentley’s Tavern Downtown, located in the Parade Ground Village from 4 to 6 p.m. Contributions will be accepted at the event. For more information, email: tarathomasformalta@gmail.com.
