Willey’s Store Announces 7th Annual Lantern Launch

/0 Comments/in /by

Willey’s Store has announced its 7th Annual Lantern Launch this week. The launch will be held on July 14, 2018 at dusk. Robbie Hurst released this statement to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about this event, focusing on the possible environmental and safety concerns surrounding the launch of lanterns from the public beach. In light of member concerns over the event last year, we encourage everyone to read Robbie’s statement.

The Greensboro Association does not sponsor the lantern launch.

If you are renting your cottage to out-of-town guests this summer, we encourage you to provide them with information regarding the lanterns and their safe use, in addition to information about Caspian boating regulations, fireworks use, and ways for guests and residents to help keep Caspian Lake clean.

If you have additional questions, please contact Robbie Hurst at Willey’s.

 

State decides Lakeview School will not be consolidated under Act 46

/0 Comments/in /by

The Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) published its proposed statewide plan for school district consolidation in early June. The proposal recommends to the State Board of Education that they not consolidate the schools in our supervisory union (Orleans Southwest) at this time. While this is the AOE’s recommendation, the full plan still requires approval by the Vermont State Board of Education (SBE). The State Board of Ed will meet with school boards from the northern part of Vermont to discuss their proposals in mid-July. The final consolidation plan will not be published until late October.

 

The Lakeview Board anticipates hosting a meeting later this summer to update our residents on the status of our proposal, as well as to continue the discussion about the future of Lakeview.

Greensboro’s Giving Closet may be forced to close

/0 Comments/in /by

The following is a notice from the Town Clerk in Greensboro posted this week on Front Porch Forum.

Please note that while well-intentioned, leaving items for the Giving Closet after hours or leaving large, bulky items without making prior arrangements could make it difficult for this important community service to continue. Metal recycling is available behind the town hall, and recycling hours are currently Saturday mornings from 9-11.

The Giving Closet is a heavily visited room in the Greensboro Town Hall. Unfortunately, in the past we have had donations left at the front door of the Town Clerk’s Office during off hours. This is happening regularly again. In the past, we have closed down because of this. We truly appreciate all the “good” donations we received, but we are also subject to “un-usable” items. This is getting out of hand again. I know a lot of different communities utilize the Giving Closet, but we WILL close if this does not stop. We try to make it available most days of the week, but we are being taken advantage of. Please respect our efforts to make this open for all. DO NOT leave items on the weekends or after hours. Just call me if you have items and we can make arrangements. 802-533-2911. Thank you.
