THRIFT SHOP: For those looking for bargains, this shop is a "must see." The prices are probably the lowest around, and the selection of good quality items is exceptional.
Jean Maples, Thrift Shop volunteer coordinator, can always use more volunteers. The shifts usually consist of three hours, morning or afternoon. The donation of time for even one or two shifts per month would be appreciated. Call Jean at 254-1258 or Elaine at 365-7140 x. 118. The advertised hours for the Thrift Shop are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Mon., Wed., Fri. and Sat. The shop is located in the West River Market building in East Jamaica.

On the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, the van goes from Weston/Londonderry to Springfield, VT and back (call Helen at 875-6148 or Eliza at 874-4258 for reservations). On the 1st and 3rd Fridays, the van goes from Wardsboro/Townshend to Brattleboro and back (call 365-7140 x118 for reservations). This service provides door-to-door transportation for errands and medical appointments.
