THRIFT SHOP: Thanks to Chuck French of Ward Graphics, The Valley Health Council Thrift Shop has a new sandwich-board sign by the side of Route 30, that says Thrift Shop Open Today.

HOMEMAKERS: Is your housework getting to be too much to handle? Would you like help at home? Did you know that the Valley Health Council has mature, trained homemakers who can help you maintain your quality of life at home? You do not need to have a medical condition to receive help. Many of the people currently using homemaker services have said that, if they had known that they didn’t need to be ill in order to hire a homemaker, they would have done so long ago. Don’t wait - now’s the time!

Call Elaine Scott at (802) 365-4910 to discuss how the Valley Health Council homemakers may be able to help you or a loved one.

GASOLINE WOES: With fuel prices so high, this could be the perfect time to hop on the Bette Boop bus to get to Brattleboro or Springfield for shopping trips. Call 365-4910 for more information.
