On Saturday, Feb. 1st, 165 children and 143 adults turned out for Dabble Day, an annual event for families with young children ages birth
to 6, at the Barre Auditorium. Local teachers, librarians, childcare providers, and others who work for agencies that provide services for
young children presented fun and messy activities, including oobleck, live music, silly putty, slime, glittery Valentines, building toys, seed
planting and more. The event is always an opportunity for families to explore and play together while gathering information about local
childcare services, preschool programs, and health and community services. And every child got to bring home a free book! Look out
for our next Dabble Day in February 2021! The next free book giveaway for children will be Milk & Cookies Night on April 1st, 6:00 p.m.
at the Aldrich Public Library in Barre.

Deadline Approaching for Funding for Organizations and
Programs that Support Viable Career Pathways for
Vermont Women and Girls
Funding is now available from the Vermont Women’s
Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation for programs
that support viable career pathways and career prospects for
Vermont women and girls.
The Vermont Women’s Fund was established in 1994 as an
enduring resource to support women and girls in the state. A
council of women from around Vermont advises the Fund
and participates in its grant-making and leadership work,
including the work of its partnership with the Vermont
Commission on Women and Vermont Works for Women—
Change The Story—an initiative seeking to fast-track women’s
economic security in Vermont.
To achieve a deep and strategic impact, the Vermont
Women’s Fund will continue to focus its grant-making on an
area highlighted by the research of Change The Story:
women and girls on the pathway to viable careers. There are
significant funding gaps in this area, and the Women’s Fund
believes it is uniquely positioned to make a difference.
The 2020 competitive grant program will award grants of

The Vermont Women’s Fund is a philanthropic resource
that champions gender equity and economic equality for
women and girls in the state of Vermont. A component fund
of the Vermont Community Foundation, the Women’s Fund
