Another frosty morning, although sunshine always makes me feel better! Looks like temps may warm up a bit as the week progresses. Lots of people coming to VT and a few fender benders, so be aware of increased traffic and perhaps give a little extra time to get places. Check the website for the agenda for tonight’s select board meeting. Of note is the mention that Cherry Nicoll, our delightful treasurer is leaving.

I attended “Alice by Heart” at WUHS on Sunday, a play that included youngsters of many ages including Josie Flaster and Simon Bergey from Plymouth. It was a rousing production directed by Marcia Bender!

The Echo Lake Inn is back in operation after a short break prior to Thanksgiving and will resume local specials on 1/6/26. In the meantime, check out their website for their special Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve menu specials. Tyson Ladies Aid enjoyed a yummy lunch there for our Christmas party on 12/4

A local Santa (helper) from town attended the Holiday Open House at Fletcher Memorial Library on 12/11. Free books were distributed and the Friends of the Library provided goodies. Adults were also welcome. Holiday ornament making will take place on Monday, 12/22 for all ages from 5:30-6:30 pm

Please note the FML program called The Healing Library which provides a series of kits designed to make a family’s journey of healing following a trauma easier to navigate. Each Kit consists of a Discussion Guide with tips for discussing the difficult subject as a family, plus an Activities Guide including holistic art and play therapy activities to assist in expression, communication, and healing. Available kits include: The Death of a Pet, The Death of a Loved One, Alzheimer’s and Your Family, and Severe Weather & Climate Engagement. Use your library card to check them out and remember that Plymouth residents are included. The Community Helpers Guide puts families in contact with support groups and organizations. Also consider the Acts of Kindness Guide.
