spring cleaning
Should have figured we’d have snow since I put my sweaters away last week. A short update from me since these keep getting caught in spam filters.
Water and sewer bills have gone out!
Thank you for your patience. If you missed our last meeting where we set the new user rates, we are increasing rates incrementally and the board expects to revisit a new rate card in the future (thanks to the Finance Committee for their work on this). We’re also investigating new meters since those will help with users that 1. aren’t currently on meters and 2. those of us that have old meters which as they age, aren’t as accurate.
Upcoming events (the theme is literacy!):
The Woodstock Rotary is partnering with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to bring the program to Bridgewater, Barnard, Pomfret, and Woodstock. The Imagination Library mails one book per month to any child enrolled from birth until their 5th birthday. You can support this initiative at the OYC on May 3, 2026, from 4-6 pm! Radio Bear will be playing live music! Suggested donation at the door is $20 per adult; kids are free.
Upper Valley Educators Institute is hosting a screening of Hopeville: How to Win the Reading Wars on Saturday, May 9th at 4:00pm at Billings Farm, followed by a panel discussion with local leaders, educators, and students to discuss the future of literacy teaching and learning in the Upper Valley. Suggested ticket donation is $15-$25.
