On April 1, 1964, the Selectmen voted to enter the Eastern Essex District of Veterans Affairs. The member towns include Essex, Hamilton, Ipswich and Wenham. A Board consisting of the chairman of the Board of Selectmen in each member town appoints a director of veteran's services of the district and an assistant director, if necessary. Two main programs are provided: 1) to inform and assist veterans and their families of their rights and entitlements under the law; and 2) to render financial assistance in the time of need pursuant to Chapter 115 of the General Laws.
