Vermont Flooding ~ How to Help

Tomorrow I promise to make this all about me and dog training, I had friends in town for training over the weekend and, before they had to bolt in the wake of the hurricane, we had some good conversations. Diane I hope you know we were picking on you, there really ARE no dumb questions! LOL

It is a good day however when all I have to worry about is explaining training details in a way people can understand. Others have not been so fortunate. The pics below are from areas a very short distance from my house.

Stratton Foundation Disaster Relief Fund
Dear Caring Community,
From Brattleboro to Bennington and more, Irene has had a devastating impact on families and property in our Southern Vermont communities. The national news has documented the realities of the storm's impact. The damage and loss of homes is probably the most dramatic for our area familes!
We prepared and waited, but who could have anticipated the magnitude of the destruction to our roadways, bridges, and homes? Neighborhoods watched as pieces of our community were washed away by rising raging rivers and massive flooding.
Many of our community members are still without power, some have taken refuge in local shelters, and many are housing friends and neighbors who are not able to get back to their homes or have a home to go back to. Our neighbors are destined to face considerable financial hardship.
None of the towns in our area were spared and are now stranded islands in the midst of mountains. The Stratton Foundation has established the Disaster Relief Fund to specifically raise money to help these families recover from sudden and dramatic loss. Please consider your support today. Many Stratton area families are affected!
100% of donations will go to the relief fund. Please contact Tammy Mosher to communicate where the most need is required.
