Homeowners and renters in Vermont who suffered damage or losses in floods over the past few weeks should call 2-1-1 to report that damage. 2-1-1 will record all damage information and pass along to Vermont Emerrgency Managment to assist in its efforts to recieve a federal declartion and financial help for homeowners.

VEM is currently working to estimate private property damage around Vermont to determine if the state may qualify for an Individual Assistance disaster decleration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 2-1-1 is an easy to remember central call point for all homeowners to report this damage. Vermont has received NO disaster declaration for individual or public assistance as yet.

The state of Vermont needs to show significant damage to private homes to qualify for an individual assistance declaration from the federal government. it is imperative that all homeowners who have damages call 2-1-1 and make a report. However, those homeowners should not expect any immediate relief or assistance when calling 2-1-1.

If you need immediate emergency assistance call 9-1-1.

211 is a program of the United Way.


 

UpCycle- the process of converting retired, unwanted and no longer small elctronic devices into useable products, once again. This keeps them out of landfills.  About 50 million cell phones are replaced worldwide a month and only 10% are recycled. if we recycle just a million cell phones. it would reduce greenhouse gas.

An Interesting Fact!
(Showing the benefits of UpCycling)

A human being is suppose to drinkk (8) 8oz glasses of water each day to maintain good health. this equals to 64 ounces of water per day.  in 365 days this equals to 23360 Ounces per year, or 182 and a half gallons. 
- 15800 is the total saved gallons per year when 1 cell phone is kept out of a landfil.
- 78.4 years is the current life span of 1 human being in the US.
- 182 and a half gallons per year x 78.4 years (the avg. life span) =14,308 gallons

Keeping (1) cell phone out of landfill provides enough clean water to sustain a human being over their entire life.  Here is the kicker: over 1 billion cell phone are currently purchased a year.  Hundreds of milions of other electronic devices are also purchased each year.

UpCycling is a Better Idea!

ENERGY SAVINGS AND COLLECTIONS PRESERVATON ARE KEY BENEFITS WITH NEW SKYLIGHTS AT ST. JOHNSBURY ATHENAEUM

For almost 140 years, the original metal and glass Victorian-style skylights above the Art Gallery at St. Johnsbury Athenaeum protected one of the most prized art collections in the country from the unpredictable weather of northern New England.

The Art Gallery at the Athenaeum features over 120 paintings, sculptures, and other fine works highlighting the American landscape, classical studies, and reproductions of Renaissance and Baroque masterworks. Many paintings by the Hudson River School artists are on display including Jasper Cropsey, Asher B. Durand, Sanford Gifford, and Worthington Whittredge. The most prominent painting in the Gallery is Albert Bierstadt’s mammoth 10 x 15 foot masterpiece Domes of the Yosemite, one of the most famous paintings in America.

An in-depth analysis of the condition of the skylights revealed that they were severely deteriorated to a point requiring wholesale replacement. For the past three years, the Athenaeum has been

FACTS ABOUT THE FRESH AIR FUND

THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.

Nearly 9,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2011, close to 4,000 children visited volunteer host families in rural, suburban and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fresh Air Fund’s year-round camping and after-school programs serve an additional 2,000 young people each year.

FRESH AIR CHILDREN

Children are selected to participate in The Fresh Air Fund’s programs based on financial need. Children are from low-income communities. Fresh Air youngsters are registered by more than 90 social service and community organizations in all five boroughs of New York City.

FRESH AIR FUND VOLUNTEER HOST FAMILY PROGRAM

Fresh Air boys and girls from six to 18 years old visit over 300 rural, suburban and small town communities, called Friendly Towns, during the summer. Fresh Air children on first-time visits to Friendly Town host families are six to 12 years old and stay for one to two weeks. Sixty-five percent of all children are reinvited to stay with the same host families, year after year. Reinvited youngsters may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18, and many spend the entire summer in the country. Fresh Air children and volunteer families often form bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.

VOLUNTEER HOST FAMILIES

Fresh Air Fund volunteer host families open their homes to inner-city children for one to two weeks or more in the summertime. Each Friendly Town community is supervised by a committee of volunteer leaders. Committee members select host families after reviewing their applications, visiting them in their homes and checking their personal references.

There are no financial requirements for hosting a Fresh Air child. The majority of hosts simply want to share their homes with inner-city youngsters. Host families are not paid. The Fresh Air Fund has a program for placing children who have special physical or emotional needs.

FRESH AIR FUND CAMPING PROGRAM

3,000 New York City youngsters, ages eight to 15, attend five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. Camp Hidden Valley is for boys and girls with and without special needs, eight to 12 years old; Camp Tommy is for 12- to 15-year-old boys; Camp Hayden-Marks Memorial is for nine- to 12-year-old boys; Camp Mariah is a coed camp for 12- to 14- year-old career campers; and Camp Anita Bliss Coler is for girls, nine to 15 years old. For 13- to 15-year-olds at Camp ABC, The Fresh Air Fund has established the Precious Center for Teen Leadership intended to give young women a safe, nurturing environment to focus on their futures. Additionally, many young people participate in year-round weekend camping experiences. Special features shared by all camps include a planetarium, model farm, wilderness trail and ropes course. Camp Tommy is named in honor of designer Tommy Hilfiger for his dedication and support of Fresh Air children.

CAREER AWARENESS PROGRAM

The Fresh Air Fund’s innovative Career Awareness Program is designed to help New York City youngsters understand the relationship between school and work and how to make choices that will determine their futures. In New York City, 12- to 14-year-olds participate in job shadowings that offer close-up views of business, receive after-school tutoring with volunteer tutors, and attend a career fair. The year-round program includes weekend camping trips and an intensive three-and-a-half week summer session at the Career Awareness Camp – Camp Mariah. The career camp is named in honor of Board member/singer Mariah Carey for her dedication, support and commitment to Fresh Air youngsters. Career awareness graduates continue to receive support through the PreOccupations Club and benefit from the guidance of volunteer mentors.

FRESH AIR FUND HISTORY

In 1877, the Reverend Willard Parsons, minister of a small rural parish in Sherman, Pennsylvania, asked members of his congregation to provide country vacations as volunteer host families for children from New York City tenements. This was the beginning of The Fresh Air Fund tradition. By 1884, Reverend Parsons was writing about The Fund for New York’s Herald Tribune, and the number of children served grew. In 2011, close to 9,000 New York City children experienced the joys of summertime in Friendly Towns and at five Fresh Air Fund camps in upstate New York.

FRESH AIR FUND CONTRIBUTIONS

The Fresh Air Fund is a not-for-profit agency, depending primarily on support from private contributions. It costs The Fresh Air Fund $917.00 for a visit with a volunteer host family and $1,655.00 to send a child to Fresh Air camp. Over 75% of The Fund’s contributions come from individual donors. Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to The Fresh Air Fund, 633 Third Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10017. Families who wish to be hosts, or parents who would like to sign up their children, may call The Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003 or visit www.freshair.org.
