2010 Hapgood Pond Youth Fishing Derby

On June 12th, TUSWVT raised funds and cooked some grub for the 20th annual Hapgood Pond Fishing Derby, put on by the Green Mountain National Forest Service.
We would like to thank all of you who came out and participated despite the rainy weather!
We are looking forward to the 21st annual derby already!
5th Annual Pancake Breakfast

The TUSWVT annual pancake breakfast was held on May 29, 2010 at American Legion Hall in Arlington, Vermont.
We would like to thank all of you who came out and helped support local conservation and education efforts in the southwestern Vermont area.
This was our most financially successful breakfast to date, raising more than double our average pancake revenues!
These funds will be used directly for local conservation and education projects in the area.
We would also like to thank the American Legion Hall for allowing us to use their facilities for the 3rd year in a row.
We can't wait to see you all next year!
