BRATTLEBORO — The board and staff of the Winston Prouty Center for Child and Family Development offer our deepest thanks to our friends who participated in our Par for the Cause fundraiser on June 26 and 27.

We are delighted that so many people took us up on the chance to play a family-friendly game of disc golf over a whimsical nine-hole course, and to join us for a picnic featuring great music and wonderful food.

The event would not have been a success without our generous event sponsors and the following businesses that provided wonderful products for our Prize-A-Day Raffle.

All funds raised contribute to our work providing inclusive education and family support to promote the success of our community's children and families.

Thank you again for your support.

Wednesday, August 4, 2021 — Issue 624

Potent teen voices ripple through Listen Up!, an original music theater piece currently touring Vermont, created by multi-award-winning director and producer Bess O'Brien and a company of teen and adult collaborators. “Just because you knew me doesn't mean I'm still the same,” they sing in collaboratively written lyrics. “Just because I'm born and raised doesn't mean I'm going to stay./Just because I'm gay doesn't mean I want to dance./I never had a dad but that don't mean I'm not a...
