The annual NEK Together Conference is coming to Island Pond on November 4, and thanks to the generosity of the Neil & Louise Tillotson Fund, admission is FREE for residents of Essex County communities along the Connecticut River using the code ESSEX26
We know how far our little corner of Vermont is from so many events like this. Bringing the conference to Essex County for the first time, and making it free for many of our residents, is a special effort to make sure our communities are included, connected, and heard. I really hope you'll take advantage of it!
We are providing coats and winter gear for children in school who do not have a coat. Every child deserves to be warm, safe and ready to learn!

Bells Across America happens every September 17 at 4 PM EDT at the Grace Community Church in Canaan, VT. It is the time and date that the Constitution was completely signed in 1791. In some places it also honors first responders that come when we need them and put their lives on the line for us. In the Northeast Kingdom, the Saint John de Crevecoeur Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, partners with communities to participate in Bells Across America.
We would truly appreciate it if you would share this opportunity with your students and staff members. Refreshments will be made available, to include April's Maple soup/chili, sides, and sweet treats. Of course, you can hike and play disc golf while you are there, as well as participate in some art stations that will be set up which should be fun for all ages! RSVPs will be greatly appreciated for amounts of food needed.
Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions, and hope to see many people of all ages attend!
This group offers a supportive space for adoptive and guardianship caregivers to share the challenges and successes they experience while raising youth across developmental stages.
