Community Resilience Symposium: Stormwater

Join Us for the Community Resilience Symposium Series Relaunch! Re-Scheduled

Note on rescheduling:

As many of you are undoubtedly aware, our community suffered a horrible loss this past week. June Cooper, daughter of Jonothan and Kate Cooper of Pownal drowned while attending a summer camp at Lake Paran last Friday.

Out of respect for June, the Coopers, and the people of our community who are still reeling from this loss, we are moving the Symposium to August 11th to not conflict with her memorial and allow our staff, volunteers, and attendees to attend the service.

The symposium will be at the same location and at the same time, just the following Sunday.

Date: August, 11th 2024; 12pm-4pm

Location: 467 Center St, Pownal VT 05261

Lunch will be provided

Suggested Donation: $10.00
