WILLIAMSVILLE-A concert to support the important work of the Vermont Asylum Assistance Project (VAAP) takes place Saturday, April 18, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Williamsville Hall.
The Seymour Sisters will be performing Americana music. The band includes local musicians Beth Spicer on banjo, mandolin, and guitar; Laura Bryant-Williams on vocals and guitar; Kate Wolff on dobro, and Betsy Williams on upright bass. Vermont State Treasurer Mike Pieciak and Molly Gray, former Vermont Lieutenant Governor and previous director of the Vermont Afghan Alliance, will each give brief remarks.
The suggested donation is $25 to $50, and all proceeds will benefit VAAP, a legal services and technical assistance organization that exists to mentor no-cost and low-cost immigration lawyers and legal workers, educate and serve Vermont immigrants and community members, maximize impact across sectors, and advocate to protect immigrants’ rights. It is currently one of the primary organizations providing this legal assistance to Vermont’s immigrant neighbors.
Tickets will be available at the door. Payment accepted via cash, check, or Venmo. There will be light refreshments available. Those who can’t make the concert but still want to support VAAP can make checks out to “Vermont Asylum Assistance Project.” Mail to Betsy Williams, 1197 Westminster West Rd., Putney, VT 05346.
