NORWICH – The Meet the Candidates Night originally scheduled for May 13 has been rescheduled due to a conflict with another event. The forum, sponsored by the Norwich Parent, Teacher and Student Association, will now take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 12 in the Stanford Gibson Elementary School Auditorium.

According to District Clerk Pam Salvati, a total of eight candidates turned petitions in prior to the April 28 deadline. Those candidates are incumbents Bob Patterson and Bill Loomis, as well as Clyde Birch, Mark Hollifield, Dr. Linda Horowitz, Heather Collier, Thomas Morrone and David Older.
