Brattleboro Rotary Club’s Christmas Tree Fundraiser was a success

BRATTLEBORO — Thank you for your support of the annual Brattleboro Rotary Club Christmas Tree fundraiser.

Since 1965, the Brattleboro Rotary Club has sold Christmas trees to raise money for local student scholarships. Four hundred Vermont-grown trees were sold and netted $5,500 for Gateway Foundation, a local fund to support scholarships awarded annually to Brattleboro-area students pursuing college.

We will give $18,000 this year to graduating seniors at Brattleboro Union, Hinsdale, Leland & Gray high schools and at the Austine School.

For more info about Brattleboro Rotary Club or Gateway Foundation, visit brattlebororotaryclub.org.

BRATTLEBORO-This summer's Democratic primary race in District 7 may be more than just a standard clash of personalities. It may be a sign of a class struggle, as well as a battleground for hearts and minds. District 7, which includes much of West Brattleboro, has been represented in the state Legislature for the past three terms by Emilie Kornheiser. Challenging her for the party's nomination on the ballot for the election on Tuesday, Aug. 13, is Amanda Ellis-Thurber, who co-owns...

This Thursday, May 22, Putney will hold a Special Town Meeting to decide: Will the town continue with Rescue Inc. as its ambulance service, or contract with another provider? I hope that Putney residents will attend this meeting and make their voices heard - again. At Putney's Annual Town Meeting in March, voters debated the Selectboard's proposal to change ambulance services. After years of contracting with Rescue Inc., the board presented a budget with funding for Golden Cross Ambulance Service.
