It's here, it's here! The new truck is here! (Can you tell we're ecstatic?)

Please join us tonight for a special dedication service at AVFD at 6pm!
We welcome the public to take part in this special ceremony.

The Ascutney Volunteer Fire Association would like to personally thank the residents of Weathersfield for your support and commitment to fire services. Without you we would not have been able to order this new piece of apparatus, so for that, we are truly grateful.

From all of us, THANK YOU!

Weathersfield proudly announces that the Weathersfield Directory is, once again, available to Weathersfield residents. This FREE 24-page Directory is full of information regarding all aspects of the Town of Weathersfield, Vermont: emergency contact information, Town Offices and Services, Community Organizations, Family Recreation, Museums and Historical Attractions and Businesses/Advertisers. The new bonus to the Weathersfield Directory is that we are available online! WeathersfieldDirectory.org will get you a current, up-to-date version at the convenience of your fingertips.

If your business or organization is located in Weathersfield you should be in the Directory!

Directories were picked up from the printers on Monday, May 6 and sent to the post office on Friday, May 10. Be looking in your mail box for your copy of the Weathersfield Directory.

Didn't receive a copy in the mail? The Directory will be available after May 15th at various locations around town - the Weathersfield Proctor Library, Weathersfield Town Offices, Ascutney Market and Downers Jiffy Mart.

Wish to contact us? Have a question? WeathersfieldDirectory@gmail.com will get you the answers you are looking for.

This version of the printed and on-line Directory will be valid through December 31, 2014. At that time, we start all over again! A new booklet version will be printed and the on-line submission will need to be renewed.

A wonderful group of dedicated volunteers worked (and are working) hard to provide this Directory to our community. Our most heartfelt thanks go to all those who helped in any way to produce both the booklet and on-line version. Many hands made light work.

Weathersfield School is looking for volunteers who would like to help teach nature science classes to students in K-4 next school year. Under the coordination of Susan Hindinger, Parent Volunteer, and Lisa Purcell, Director of the Four Winds Institute, volunteers will learn how to make science come alive to our young folk! Volunteers will be trained on a regular basis so they can facilitate fun and interesting lessons throughout the school year. To learn more about this innovative and exciting opportunity for our youngsters, please come to a program overview on May 22, 2013 from 2:45 to 3:45 pm in the all purpose room. Light refreshments will be served. FREE babysitting will also be available, so please bring your little ones to the school, too. We are hoping to encourage at least 16 parents, grandparents and community members to help us with this wonderful hands-on science program! For more information, please call Principal Oakman at 674-5400.

Many Thanks,
JM

But then his brother's death sparks an unexpected friendship with Mrs. Jasmina Ali, the Pakistani shopkeeper from the village" from the back cover. Copies of the book are available at the library.
