The Scouting Monument fundraising store opened
this weekend with the help of committee members
as well as some Barre scouts and their leaders.
Scouting Monument
Fundraising Store Opens
Although there was no advertising and only
a sandwich board put outside, the combined
total cash receipts brought in over two days
was $440.00. The plan going forward is to
have this store open on the weekends through
the end of the year. However it needs donations
of merchandise to sell to keep up a good
inventory. If you have salable items, which
you no longer need, please consider donating
to this project. There are some wonderful gifts
there which are perfect for Christmas and
New Years, so come check this out on Saturday
10-5 or Sunday 10-4. The location is in the
middle of Sidewalk Village at 136 N. Main
Street.
Spaulding High School Sophomores, Jada
MacDonald and Madison Henderson, work with
Barre City Department of Public Works Streets
Foreman, Jim Brown, to install one of the ten
“Sidewalk Buttlers” going up in the city of Barre.
These cigarette butt dispensers will help solve the
butt litter problem in the downtown area and provide
a place to extinguish cigarettes before entering
the smoke free parks, playgrounds, and
events. Jada and Madison are part of the OVX and
SADD groups at Spaulding. Our Voices Xposed
(OVX) is a youth-led group focusing on exposing
the truth about tobacco such as the harmful flavors,
marketing tactics targeting kids, and the
impact of secondhand smoke. Students Against
Destructive Decisions (SADD) envisions a world
in which young people make positive decisions
that advance their health and safety. Students collaborated
with Central VT New Directions Coalition
to survey Barre residents and businesses about
smoking in downtown Barre.
