BRATTLEBORO — Southeast Vermont Building Bright Futures expresses a full-bellied thank you to all those who participated, volunteered, performed, donated to, and inspired the “Building Bright Futures: Vermont's Vision For Early Childhood” community forum on Dec. 8.
The forum was an opportunity to learn more about Vermont's vision for our children and to share concrete steps we can take as a community to improve the health and well-being of all our children. Current and newly elected state legislators from Windham County listened and shared their ideas as we head into the 2015 legislative session.
The evening included a special performance by Academy School second- and third-grade drama club students. We thank the Academy School students and legislators for participating in and inspiring our evening.
A jolly thanks goes to the United Way of Windham County, Brattleboro Food Co-op, Putney Food Co-op, and the Agency of Human Services Brattleboro District Office for their generous contributions. Thank you to the Marlboro Graduate Center and staff for providing an excellent setting for the evening. We also thank BCTV for filming and airing the forum.
Thanks must also go to the Windham Solid Waste Management District for providing free event recycling stations, which allowed the forum to be a zero-waste event. If you have an upcoming event, we encourage you to take advantage of this fantastic resource.
Finally, we thank those who participated in the forum and added their voices to the conversation.
