I hate to bump the fabulous new Putney Farmer's Market out of the top story slot for such a pedestrian item, but does anyone have any hangers they're not using? I could use some, and in the spirit of Transition Putney, would like to see recycling within our community. Thanks!

Sept. 5, 1:30 - 3:00 pm at Putney Library

What will we do when we can no longer power our cars with a non-renewable fuel source? Bike, of course! But why wait?! Come experience the romance of a pedal powered way-of-life. The workshop will cover basic bike maintenance, year round/ winter cycling, what bike is good for your needs, and the gas-free vacation.

Attendees included people from various social service organizations in and around Putney, as well as concerned Putney citizens interested in finding out more about the Putney Food Shelf. Representatives from the Townsend Food Self, SEVCA, the Brattleboro Drop In Center, the Putney Food Shelf, and Putney Family Services all shared their experiences helping to organize effective food shelves.
