Good Morning!

I want to let everyone know about an upcoming event to benefit CVCAC's emergency heating assistance program. Kate Coffey, Montpelier citizen and volunteer, is organizing Central Vermont's first ever Ski for Heat! Kate learned of the very successful Ski for Heat event in southern Vermont (www.skiforheat.org) and decided to take on the task of bringing it to our community. Thank you, Kate! Please see below (and attached) for more details. It's sure to be a great day of skiing/snowshoeing--please spread the word, and I hope to see you on the trails!
