Green Mountain Neighbors put most of its energy during 2024 into getting members and volunteers, and promoting services such as providing transportation, and assisting in some light household chores. In 2025, we are going to be hosting various types of events. For its first event this year, Green Mountain Neighbors is pleased to sponsor "Antarctica comes to Vermont" presented by Sally Deinzer, daughter of John Dyer, the chief radio engineer on Admiral Richard Byrd's Second Expedition (1934-1935) to Antarctica. This event will be held on Saturday, February 8th from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. (inclement weather date Sunday February 9th) in the meeting room on the upper level of the Wallingford Town Hall. Parking is available along the street and at the school across the street. The meeting room is handicapped accessible. During this expedition, Admiral Byrd stayed by himself for an extended period "Alone" which happens to be the title of the book by Admiral Byrd about his adventure. There will be video from clips (transferred from 8 mm film) made by John Dyer during the expedition, and time for questions. Admission is free for members and volunteers with GMN while others will be charged $5.00. Light refreshments will be available. If you have ideas for events that you would enjoy, please send an email to info@greenmountainneighbors.org or leave a phone message at 802-417-2292. And if you are interested in joining as either a member or volunteer, please use the same email and phone number.
