2015 Winter Update

Our members have received the Winter Letter by email. Those who have not “opted out” of paper mailings also received the mailing delivered by the USPS. We look forward to getting your updates, suggestions and new member referrals.

We have been very busy this the fall, addressing a number of issues important to our members. Read the highlights in the Winter 2015 President’s Letter.

Legislative Breakfast to discuss Education on January 19th

A legislative breakfast has been set up for Jan. 19th in the Fellowship Hall of the Greensboro UCC at 9am. There is a great deal of interest in the subject of cost of education in Vermont and its impact on our property taxes, and that will be the focus of this meeting.     Our state representatives Vicki Strong, John Rogers, Bobby Starr and Sam Young have been invited to express ideas that they think may be helpful in improving the current situation.  But the most important outcome of this legislative breakfast will be your thoughts and desires, so please come prepare to express your ideas and thoughts.

This meeting is open to all with an interest in this area from Greensboro, Craftsbury, Glover and Barton.   If you know of anyone who is and has served on one of our local school boards, please be sure to encourage them to come.  Real knowledge of our local school budgets would be very helpful.

For those interested in the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union deliberations about this years school budget, there are a number of community forums which are being covered by Hardwick Community Television – you can attend or watch the proceedings.   https://www.ossu.org/resources/communityforums
