Registry Holiday Schedule

Tomorrow (November 11) is Veterans Day so the registry will be closed. I thought this might also be a good time to review our holiday schedule for the rest of the year. Thursday, November 25 is Thanksgiving so we're closed that day. We will be open our regular hours on the Wednesday before and the Friday after. Christmas and New Year both fall on Saturdays this year, so we won't have any additional closings on account of those two days. State law says that if the holiday falls on a Saturday, there is no additional closing day although employees receive a floating holiday; but if the holiday falls on a Sunday, state offices are closed on Monday which will be the case in 2011.

The city of Lowell will observe Veterans Day with a speaking program at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium on Thursday, November 11 at 10 am followed by a wreath laying outside the auditorium at 11 am. No matter where you live, be sure to take a moment tomorrow and do something to honor America's veterans.
