THRIFT SHOP: Winter clothing (from the winter that seemed as if it would never end!) has been put away and the summer items are out on display. For those who haven't visited the shop for a while, there have been many changes. The volunteers have been very creative, and have used the space to show off the items well. However, Jean Maples, coordinator of Thrift Shop volunteers, can always use more volunteers for three-hour shifts, either morning or afternoon; call Jean at 254-1258 for more information.

The Thrift Shop is open 10-4, Mon., Wed., Fri., and Sat., and it.s located at the West River Market in East Jamaica (on Route 30, between Townshend and Jamaica).

VAN SCHEDULE: The Valley Health Council, in coopera- tion with The Council on Aging, sponsors four van trips a month. On the first and third Thursday of each month, the van makes the round trip between Weston/Londonderry and Springfield (call Helen at 875-6148 for reservations). On the first and third Friday of every month, the van goes from Wardsboro/Townshend area to Brattleboro and back. (Call 365-7140 ext. 118 for reservations). This service provides door-to-door transportation for doctors appointments, shopping, banking, etc. The current van seats just ten peo- ple, so call early to reserve a seat.
