This From Smugglers Notch
I am sure you have all seen the terrible images on the national news of the effect of Irene on Vermont.
Smugglers' is extremely fortunate as the storm spared us the brunt of its fury and we have some but minor damage. Our emphasis on storm water management systems served us very well!
Unfortunately many towns and communities will be a long time in recovery. The hardest hit areas are in Southern Vermont.
Thank you for the many phone calls and emails received from our owners inquiring on how they can help. We contacted our Lamoille County Senator, Rich Westman, to see how we can assist. He highly suggested donations to the Bennington Food Shelf as they are quickly running low on supplies and there are no local stores operating in this region due to the flood. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please make your check payable to Sacred Heart "His Pantry". You can mail your check directly to me at Smugglers' and I will personally see that your contribution is delivered promptly. Other organizations accepting donations are the American Red Cross and the United Way.
We hope you were as fortunate as Smugglers' in your hometown.
Warm Regards,
Bill Stritzler
