| | | | | For the last several weeks, a group of us from Cavendish Connects, Fletcher Memorial Library, B.R.A.T, and Black River Good Neighbors Services have been meeting to discuss how to support and aid the people in the Black River Valley towns of Cavendish, Ludlow, Mt. Holly and Plymouth. Some of the members of this group have sustained home and property damage, while others have been involved with the relief efforts from day one.
Attached please find a handout in PDF format, which you can share with those members of your community that have been affected by the July floods. The aim of the handout is to provide local resource information in the simplest manner possible in both print and digital formats. We will be updating it regularly with new and current information as we receive it.
On Oct. 4 (Wednesday) we will be meeting with FEMA at the Ludlow Community Center at 9 am as they would like to present information regarding Long Term Recovery Groups. You are welcome to attend.
If you have questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to reach me at the numbers below.

She encouraged them to follow her lead of posting a whimsical drawing daily on Facebook. She has an Art Therapy background and feels everyone should doodle and draw often. Hart started drawing at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. She saw art therapy as a refuge and an option for inmates. When an inmate left, she gave them a notebook and pen, and told them to draw every day, for life. She now works at the Westchester County jail via Zoom. Some inmates have committed serious crimes, and many are vulnerable people. Hart gives them a prompt from which they draw. She herself, however, does not draw from a prompt. She has the Pareidolia trait, which is the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern, such as seeing an elephant in a cloud formation or a face in a tree trunk. Hart shared her second book of images with the Club. In response to a question, she said the book was self published by a friend, which she indicated is a challenge. Her first book was titled "Stop Screaming: How some of us made it through Covid-19". Her website is PetsByHart. In closing, she encouraged the Rotarians to draw on a board she provided for an absent member of the club. Anyone interested in learning more about joining Rotary is invited to contact Kevin Barnes, Membership Chairman at (802) 228-8877, to receive an invitation to a meeting. | | |
