A lovely walk this afternoon (Sunday) with a neighbor, ahead of the anticipated rain.  Not looking forward to a soggy beginning to the week, but even less enthused about the prospect of ice when the temps plummet again.  Guess we need to get our grippers out!

This week is the special town meeting and vote:  Monday night 12/6 at 7 PM for the informational meeting, then voting will take place on Tuesday 12/7 from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.  Article 1 To see if the voters will authorize the Select Board to assign fund balances in accordance with 24 V.S.A. § 2804.  Article 2 To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of $950,000.00 for repair of the town hall roof, completing deferred maintenance, performing energy/weatherization upgrades, and the addition of solar.  Article 3  To see if the Town will approve a short-term rental ordinance.  Check the Town website for more details.

How nice to have this stunning new art by Willow Bascom, who donated her time, energy and talent to make this amazing owl for the front of the Plymouth Community Center. Learn more about Willow and see her work on her website: https://www.willowdraws.com.  Many thanks to Matt Harootunian for installing it!  Never fear, the old paintings formerly on the front of the Community Center will be relocated to the Town Hall, to preserve them and brighten up the walls. 

Please note that the Tyson Community Church (located across from the Echo Lake Inn at the corner of Route 100 South & Dublin Rd) will have a pre-Christmas Candlelight Service on Sunday, 12/19 at 4:30 PM. All are invited and masks are optional.  Plan to remain for refreshments downstairs in the Social hall afterward.

Well, sorry to have missed Jeremy Ennis’ birthday on 11/30 and Beth Lombard’s on 12/4.  You still have time to congratulate Andy Buchan-Groff (12/11) and Simon Bergey (12/14).  Please let me know others to include!
