Want to Know What’s Going on in Cavendish? During the recent Select Board (SB) meetings on rebuilding the Town Garage, the issue of transparency was raised.

Cavendish Receives Back Tipping Fees The Southern Windsor/Windham County Solid Waste Management District voted to return over $379,000 in tipping fees held since 2008 when the VT/NH Solid Waste District was dissolved. On July 27th the district’s board of supervisors voted to release the funds. Since then board members have been presenting the checks to the towns during selectmen’s meetings. Cavendish’s portion is $14,786.

Ludlow Ambulance Offering Membership to Residents: All property owners in Ludlow Ambulance coverage area, which includes Cavendish town, will be receiving a postcard in the mail within the next few days. For $45 a year the membership will provide you and your dependents with FREE and unlimited emergency ambulance transports within the coverage area. Since 2005 the ambulance service has seen a decline in volunteer members. In response to this national trend the service has had to increase our part time and full time staff to continue providing the high quality service that the communities we serve deserve. This membership drive is used as an alternative to raise money, to offset the increased staffing as opposed to requesting money from the taxpayers. Ludlow Ambulance Facebook page

3. JENNI JOHNSON PROCTORSVILLE CONCERT: Jenni Johnson, a favorite on Vermont's blues circuit, will return to the Black River Valley to perform as the autumn leaves fall and a hint of chill is in the air. Her concert in Proctorsville's Raise the Roof concert series was walloped by a snowstorm last November that prevented many from making it to the performance. This time we're taking no chances and she's booked for a stand-out concert on October 22.
The smooth voice of this popular Burlington blues and jazz artist will shake the rafters of Proctorsville’s Gethsemane Episcopal Church, backed up by the well-tuned Jazz Junketeers on keyboard, horns, bass and percussion. Born in NYC’s Harlem Hospital and raised in the Big Apple, Johnson now resides in Burlington, Vermont but loves to come south to perform in the tiny Proctorsville church with its big crisp acoustics. Gethsemane Church is at 89 Depot St. (next to Crows Bakery Cafe). The music starts at 4:00 and admission is $10.00 at the door.
4. TRUNK OR TREAT ON HALLOWEEN: Once again the Cavendish Baptist Church is sponsoring Trunk or Treat at the Cavendish Town Elementary School Parking lot. This fun event brings people from all over our community together in one location to celebrate Halloween! Invite your friends! Adults can be Trunk-or-Treaters! Bring your car, decorate the trunk with a theme and hand out candy. Kids can be Trick-or-Treaters! Come in costume and collect candy.
Set up begins at 4:30pm with Trick-or-Treating from 5:00 to 7:00pm
Guidelines for Trunk-or-Treaters: *No scary decorations please* Be as creative as you'd like – pick a theme from books, movies, games, hobbies, sports, history, or a friendly Halloween theme.
