Thank you

Thank you for the support this month from Meg Berlin, Jennifer Cote, Janet Morrison and an anonymous donor. Many wonderful baked items, including brownies, muffins and cookies, were received from the fabulous Baker Volunteers and coordinator Holly Rochefort. Nancy Smith and Stacey Dobrowolski have been supplying the food shelf with fresh eggs. Thanks to our community gardeners who are planning to plant a little extra to help out our neighbors this growing season.

“Light Shall Rise”

“Light Shall Rise”

I moved to Charlotte with my family at the end of August 2017 from Underhill, Vermont. Since moving, I have regularly experienced something that others in Charlotte may find familiar. Not every day, but definitely every week, when I tell someone that I live in Charlotte the response I get is some form of, “Oooh, Charloooootte!” (as eyebrows raise). Why?

Families in every corner of Charlotte are very busy preparing for Thanksgiving baskets. CCS students in  kindergarten through 4th grade are decorating boxes, shopping for groceries, baking and creating a special Thanksgiving meal. A turkey for each family will be donated by the Charlotte and Shelburne Rotary, a tradition started many years ago. A special thanks to Kris Gerson for coordinating the effort at CCS and Todd Whitaker, Rotary member, for coordinating with the Shelburne Market on behalf of the Food Shelf.
