PLEASE READ:
The Cavendish Community and Conservation Association (CCCA) has made a decision
to no longer support the Cavendish Update stating their reasons as follows, “At the last CCCA board meeting the directors
closely reviewed the current balance in our bank account and the general state
of our finances, including what we have spent and what we have in over the past
several years. We have supported the Cavendish Update for a number of years now
and we believe that it continues to have value to the community. However, we
have reluctantly determined that we can no longer afford the cost of supporting
the CU based on our current finances. We have other projects that require our
financial support and we have a shrinking pot of money that must be carefully
allocated and conserved. We will continue our financial support of the CU
through the first of June.”
It would not
have been possible to continue the CU without CCCA’s support, so heartfelt
thanks for supporting it for so long.
What should
become of the CU? Is it still needed? How can it be supported? Should it be
expanded to meet a much greater marketing need for Cavendish? If you are
interested in participating in a meeting to explore the expansion of the CU, how
to support it and/or have ideas,
suggestions or want to make a donation to keep the CU going please e-mail margoc@tds.net or call 802-226-7807. For moreinformation on this topic.

Green Up Day will Continue: A surge
in corporate donations has pulled Green Up Day from the brink of financial
ruin. Dwindling support from Vermont companies had threatened to end the
44-year tradition. But a slew of contributions in recent months has helped
right the ship. Meredith Vieux, executive director of the nonprofit group that
puts on the event, celebrated the rejuvenation of her organization at a press
conference Tuesday on the steps of the Statehouse. Green Up Day this year will
be Saturday May 3. VPR
Golden
Stage Inn, just outside of Ludlow, Vermont, has introduced a series of
food-themed events taking place between April 20 and June 21.
In the Vermont spirit of sustainable teamwork, the Inn is partnering with
local shops, farms and cooks to create B&B packages that add value
to each business and to the community as a whole.
These
events include B&B specials called “Foodies’ Getaway” and “Road Trip!” In June, the Inn will host two Pop-Up
Restaurant events prepared by guest cooks. “Homemade Indian Cuisine” with award-winning Lini
Mazumdar of Londonderry, VT will take place on June 7, 2014. “Vermont Farm-to-Table” with entrepreneurial cook
Nick Matush of Springfield, VT will occur on June 21, 2014.
Between
April 20 and June 20, guests to the Inn can book a “Road Trip!” package. Road trip guests will receive locally made
snacks and coupons to stores in Southern Vermont towns. Guests can also choose to book the “Foodies’
Getaway” special, which includes a picnic lunch of Vermont local foods and a
gift certificate to one of three nearby restaurants serving local foods. Travelers can enjoy their vacation to VT all
the more knowing they are supporting the local economy and small independent
business. FMI: http://www.goldenstageinn.com/vermont-bed-breakfast-specials/
