BRATTLEBORO — Thank you for your support of the annual Brattleboro Rotary Club Christmas Tree fundraiser.

Since 1965, the Brattleboro Rotary Club has sold Christmas trees to raise money for local student scholarships. Four hundred Vermont-grown trees were sold and netted $5,500 for Gateway Foundation, a local fund to support scholarships awarded annually to Brattleboro-area students pursuing college.

We will give $18,000 this year to graduating seniors at Brattleboro Union, Hinsdale, Leland & Gray high schools and at the Austine School.

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 — Issue 563

Would you invite a known coronavirus carrier into your home to live with you and your family? Allowing 5G into Vermont would be like inviting the coronavirus to live with you and every other family in Vermont. Reckless! Self-defeating. For a healthy future and full internet convenience/ capability, hard-wired physical cable to every home and business will satisfy our state's internet access needs safely. Thank you for insisting on health and safety for all.
