*The Town Warrant will be heard on either March 13th or Feb 13th 2012 This will be the town's time to discuss the name change, and what the town would like to name the pond (Keep it Jew Pond or change to another name). Whatever the town decides will be sent to the The Federal Board of Geographic Names. The Federal Board will decide how the name will appear on Federal publications. The town's opinion plays an important role in the Federal decision, however, the Federal Board may decide whatever they choose as the final name of the pond.*

This is very well done, Ms. Dobbbs. You captured a lot of different views, and put it all together in a perfectly natural way.
