Her portraits invite us to consider empathy\, labor\, vulnerability\, and our relationships with other species. \nGeorge Shenk\, community activist\, experimental farmer\, writer\, and creative\, explores the human labor of sustaining small farms and the vital connections between land\, food\, animals\, and community. \nTogether\, their work asks us to reconsider how we value land\, labor\, food\, and life and reminds us that ecological health and community well-being are deeply connected.

Their daughters\, Mary and Janie\, formed a friendship of their own from the moment they met as babies\, becoming forever friends.\nTen years ago\, Mary and Janie\, along with three other local teenagers\, were tragically killed on Interstate 89. In the years since\, the Mad River Valley community has continued to experience profound loss while repeatedly demonstrating an extraordinary capacity to come together\, support one another\, and carry each other through difficult times. \nStill We Rise is Liz and Erin’s response to that journey.\nRather than creating an event centered solely on loss\, they have chosen to celebrate the people\, relationships\, creativity\, and acts of kindness that help communities heal. The experience is an invitation to remember those who are no longer here while also embracing the joy that remains.\n“We want to honor the people who carried us through some of the hardest moments of our lives\,” say Liz and Erin. “Our communities have shown us again and again what resilience looks like. We want to encourage people to seek joy\, even in the midst of difficult times\, and to remember that joy and grief can exist together.”\nThe inspiration for Still We Rise comes from Liz and Erin’s discovery of healing through creativity and the Mad River Valley’s long history of neighbors showing up for one another. From the community response following Tropical Storm Irene to the support surrounding families experiencing devastating losses\, the Valley and their extended communities have repeatedly demonstrated the power of collective care and resilience.\nTogether with contributing artists and volunteers\, Liz and Erin are transforming that message into an immersive work of art.\nVisitors will enter a mystical\, larger-than-life environment filled with luminescence\, multimedia art\, color\, and abstract light. The experience is designed to encourage exploration\, wonder\, connection\, and above all\, joy.\nStill We Rise is not simply an art installation. It is an expression of gratitude to the communities that have carried its members through unimaginable circumstances and a reminder that\, even after profound loss\, there can still be beauty\, connection\, creativity\, and light.\nThe experience invites visitors of all ages to pause\, explore\, feel\, and find their own moment of wonder. \nStill We Rise\nOctober 16-18th 2026\nOutside at The Big Picture Theater\nWaitsfield\, Vermont\nThe event is being created by Liz Harris and Erin Chase with the support of contributing artists and community volunteers.\nCome experience multimedia art inspired by joy and light—and celebrate the resilience\, love\, and spirit of our communities.

I have developed an overall surveying strategy to establish an ongoing feedback process that will help the board and membership guide the Chamber’s future. The strategy proposes three types of surveys: \n\nChamber membership DRAFT survey: A recurring survey of current members and non-members to assess the Chamber’s value\, programs\, services\, and priorities. Please review and comment.\nBusiness wellbeing survey: A survey focused on the health and needs of our local business community\, coordinated with the timing of the MRV Planning District’s Community Wellbeing Survey. Franni Hoag fromn teh MRVPD and I will be meeting with the Vermont Chamber’s Kevin Chu to coordinate our local efforts with the state chamber’s.\nFocused surveys: Brief surveys addressing specific questions or emerging issues as needed.\n\nOur first priority is the Chamber membership survey. The draft includes separate paths for members and non-members\, with questions for former members about why they left. The goal is to gather candid feedback through neutral questions and establish a baseline we can track over time. \nBoard Officers and Open Seats \nBoard Officers \nSean Kramer – Chair\,  – 1824 House Inn\n_________ – Vice-Chair\, Executive Committee –\nEd Read          – Treasurer; Executive Committee – Mad River Distillers\n_________  – Secretary; Executive Committee  – \nBoard Members \n\nJohn Bleh – Sugarbush\nSean Kramer – Chair\,  – 1824 House Inn\nMimi Buttenheim – Mad River Distillers\nEd Read – Mad River Property Management\nSam Rosenberg – The Local\nMatt Lillard – Mad River Glen\nRoger Nishi – -Waitsfield & Champlain Valley Telecom\nAron Shea – Shea Property Services\nBrian Wray – Inklings Children’s Books\nJean Wry – Hyde Away\n_________ OPEN SEAT – Anna Nasset  Seat\n_________ OPEN SEAT – Rob Perry Seat\n\nHave an Idea for the Chamber?\n\nWe’re always interested in ideas that could strengthen our business community and the Mad River Valley. Before the Chamber decides whether and how to become involved\, we’d like to better understand the idea\, its potential impact\, and what would be required to make it successful.\n\nPlease answer the following questions. This is intended as a starting point for discussion and does not imply a commitment by the Chamber to undertake or fund the idea.\n\n1. What is your idea?\nPlease provide a brief description of what you are proposing.\n\n2. What problem\, need\, or opportunity does this idea address?\nWhat prompted the idea\, and why do you believe it is needed?\n\n3. Who would benefit from this idea?\nFor example: Chamber members\, specific types of businesses\, employees\, residents\, visitors\, or the broader Mad River Valley community.\n\n4. How does this idea support the Chamber’s mission or benefit the local business community?\nPlease describe the connection as you see it.\n\n5. What role do you envision the Chamber playing?\nFor example: leading the initiative\, partnering with another organization\, promoting it\, providing staff support\, providing funding\, connecting participants\, or simply endorsing the effort.\n\n6. Who else should be involved?\nAre there businesses\, community organizations\, municipalities\, nonprofits\, or individuals that would be natural partners? Have you already spoken with any of them?\n\n7. What resources would be needed to make this happen?\nConsider funding\, staff or volunteer time\, facilities\, marketing\, technology\, permits\, outside expertise\, or other resources.\n\n8. Who would take responsibility for moving the idea forward?\nWould you be willing to lead or actively participate in developing and implementing the idea? If so\, what role would you be willing to take?\n\n9. How would we know if the idea was successful?\nWhat outcome or measurable result would indicate that the initiative was worthwhile?\n\n10. Is this intended to be a one-time project or an ongoing Chamber initiative?\nIf ongoing\, how do you envision it being financially and operationally sustainable over time?\n\nAnything Else?\n\nPlease share any additional information\, examples from other communities\, estimated costs\, potential funding sources\, timelines\, or other details that would help us understand your proposal.\n\nThank you for bringing your idea forward.\n\nThe Chamber will use this information to determine whether the proposal aligns with its mission and priorities\, whether the Chamber is the appropriate organization to be involved\, and what level of involvement—if any—may make sense.

At a time when there seems to be division everywhere we turn\, we are working to build as many bridges as possible. That includes an increasingly close partnership with our good neighbors at Discover Waterbury. \nOur two communities share more than a town line. We are connected by Route 100\, a regional economy and a common interest in encouraging visitors to experience everything this remarkable part of Vermont has to offer. By working together\, we can promote the region more effectively\, strengthen relationships among our businesses and create new opportunities for collaboration. \nTo celebrate that growing partnership\, the Mad River Valley Chamber and Discover Waterbury are joining forces for a very special social gathering. And what better place to meet than the magnificent Moose Meadow Lodge & Treehouse—located on the “neutral ground” of Duxbury\, Vermont\, affectionately known as De-Lux-Bury! \nOur hosts\, Willie and Greg\, will welcome us to their beautiful inn and grounds and serve a selection of delicious Filipino-inspired appetizers. If you have never visited Moose Meadow Lodge\, toured its famous treehouse or attended one of its summer concerts\, you are in for an absolute treat—especially with autumn arriving in the mountains. \nHarwood Union High School music students Eireann and Tarin will add to the evening with live vocals and acoustic guitar. The Duxbury Historical Society will join us as our featured nonprofit partner\, helping us celebrate the history and community connecting the Mad River Valley and Waterbury. \nBoth organizations are working to make this a memorable gathering\, so keep an eye out for additional details. We hope businesses and community members from throughout the region will join us\, make some new connections and help us continue building bridges. \nOne important example of the MRV–Discover Waterbury partnership is our shared effort to attract international travelers to Vermont’s Route 100 corridor. Learn more about that work and how the Mad River Valley is stepping into the international marketplace.

Return to Center is an invitation to slow down\, reconnect with yourself\, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.\nInspired by therapeutic yoga and somatic movement\, this class is designed for anyone seeking greater balance\, resilience\, and ease—no prior experience is necessary. Through mindful movement\, breath\, and guided awareness\, you’ll build strength\, stability\, and confidence while learning to listen more deeply to your body’s signals.\nRather than striving to do the “perfect” pose\, you’ll be encouraged to explore what feels supportive and sustainable for you. Each practice offers choices and adaptations\, empowering you to trust yourself and discover the path that best meets your needs in the present moment.\nOver the course of the season\, you’ll cultivate:\nA deeper sense of self-trust and inner resilience.\nGreater balance\, strength\, and embodied confidence.\nPractical tools to regulate stress and reconnect with yourself.\nIncreased awareness of your body’s wisdom and your own inner guidance.\nA renewed sense of possibility\, agency\, and clarity as you move through life’s challenges.\nThis is more than a yoga class: it’s a space to explore what becomes possible when you reconnect with your center and recognize that you are the leader and guide of your own life.\nCome as you are. Leave feeling more grounded\, capable\, and connected to the person you are becoming.

Space is extremely limited\, don’t wait\, register online! \nAny minors that register must be at least 12 years of age\, accompanied by their legal guardian/parent throughout the day\, no dogs or swinging tools (hatchet\, axe\, maul) are allowed. \nGeneral information:  The purpose of Volunteer Mountain Work Days is the maintenance of MRG’s legendary tree skiing and regeneration zones in our mountain forest. This involves cutting lines as well as setting aside areas for new trees to grow. Everything is done with hand tools. Work days are organized and led by Lars Bruns in consultation with ski area management. Volunteer Mountain Work Days are a great chance to get out on the mountain\, care for your favorite terrain\, and learn about how northeastern mountain forests grow. It is hard work\, but also fun and satisfying to see a ski line take shape\, and how trees will grow in response to care. \nWe welcome both experienced veterans and newcomers to the mountain work days. Each person who works a full day receives a complimentary day pass voucher for each day she or he works. \nSummer/Fall 2026 Schedule \n\nAugust 8th\nSeptember 26th\nOctober 10th\nOctober 24th\n\n  \nLogistics \n\nReport at 9:00 am at the Cricket Club picnic table.  We’re back down at 3:30 – 4:00 pm.\nMost of the time we hike from the base\, so be physically fit and prepared to hike the mountain top to bottom.\nMost days are held rain or shine – Working in the rain is fun!\nBring work gloves\, hiking boots\, drinks & lunch.\nLoppers are the most useful tool to bring. Make sure they are in good working order.\nWork days navigate our gnarly terrain; no dogs or kids under 12 please. Minors under the age of 18 must register and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\n\nThe incidence of Lyme Disease is increasing rapidly in Vermont. This disease is debilitating and hard to get rid of. More Info on how to protect yourself while thrashing around the woods of Stark Mountain. \nThe following tools are not allowed: All power tools such as chain saws\, and swinging tools such as hatchets or axes. \nOutfitting for Rain Events: \n\nOuter layer – The primary function is to hold in heat\, as well as keep water out for as long as possible.\n\nGoretex shell or other rainwear\nWaterproof pant shell – old ski pants work well\nWaterproof gaiters (Goretex)\nWaterproof boots beforehand\nBrimmed synthetic hat and fleece hat\nIf the weather is warm\, then staying warm is not a problem. Fast-drying shorts\, gaiters\, and a rain shell may be sufficient.\n\n\nInner layers – No cotton – must keep one warm when wet.\n\nWool or synthetic shirt and long underwear\nFleece\nWool socks\nThin windbreaker underneath the shell to hold even more heat in\n\n\nOther Tips\n\nPut dry (synthetic) clothing in a garbage bag\nBring a second synthetic inner layer shirt (in the garbage bag) to change into at lunch\nPut first aid kit in a waterproof bag\nA thermos of hot tea or soup.

In addition to many end-of-school year activities\, travel and school breaks\, June 1 marked the beginning of Atlantic hurricane season ─ a reminder that severe weather can also quickly disrupt the ability to donate in affected areas and potentially delay or cancel blood drives. \nPower Red: A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor.

Return to Center is an invitation to slow down\, reconnect with yourself\, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.\nInspired by therapeutic yoga and somatic movement\, this class is designed for anyone seeking greater balance\, resilience\, and ease—no prior experience is necessary. Through mindful movement\, breath\, and guided awareness\, you’ll build strength\, stability\, and confidence while learning to listen more deeply to your body’s signals.\nRather than striving to do the “perfect” pose\, you’ll be encouraged to explore what feels supportive and sustainable for you. Each practice offers choices and adaptations\, empowering you to trust yourself and discover the path that best meets your needs in the present moment.\nOver the course of the season\, you’ll cultivate:\nA deeper sense of self-trust and inner resilience.\nGreater balance\, strength\, and embodied confidence.\nPractical tools to regulate stress and reconnect with yourself.\nIncreased awareness of your body’s wisdom and your own inner guidance.\nA renewed sense of possibility\, agency\, and clarity as you move through life’s challenges.\nThis is more than a yoga class: it’s a space to explore what becomes possible when you reconnect with your center and recognize that you are the leader and guide of your own life.\nCome as you are. Leave feeling more grounded\, capable\, and connected to the person you are becoming.

Leave feeling more grounded\, capable\, and connected to the person you are becoming.

Return to Center is an invitation to slow down\, reconnect with yourself\, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.\nInspired by therapeutic yoga and somatic movement\, this class is designed for anyone seeking greater balance\, resilience\, and ease—no prior experience is necessary. Through mindful movement\, breath\, and guided awareness\, you’ll build strength\, stability\, and confidence while learning to listen more deeply to your body’s signals.\nRather than striving to do the “perfect” pose\, you’ll be encouraged to explore what feels supportive and sustainable for you. Each practice offers choices and adaptations\, empowering you to trust yourself and discover the path that best meets your needs in the present moment.\nOver the course of the season\, you’ll cultivate:\nA deeper sense of self-trust and inner resilience.\nGreater balance\, strength\, and embodied confidence.\nPractical tools to regulate stress and reconnect with yourself.\nIncreased awareness of your body’s wisdom and your own inner guidance.\nA renewed sense of possibility\, agency\, and clarity as you move through life’s challenges.\nThis is more than a yoga class: it’s a space to explore what becomes possible when you reconnect with your center and recognize that you are the leader and guide of your own life.\nCome as you are. Leave feeling more grounded\, capable\, and connected to the person you are becoming.

That’s the idea behind the MRV Women in Business “Speed Dating” networking event\, returning December 3 at the 1824 House Inn & Barn. \n\n5:30 Start – Grab a beverage and a snack\n6:00 Program starts\n7:00 Continue to mingle with new connections\nBring your business cards\, QR codes or whatever format you use to follow-up. Have your Instagram and Facebook link handy.\nLet’s connect!\n\nFor planning purposes an RSVP is requested\, but not required (for those who can join us at the last minute). Send an email to wibadmin@madrivervalley.com to RSVP \nThink of it as a friendly way to move beyond familiar faces and meet more of the women working throughout our community. Through a series of brief\, rotating conversations\, participants introduce themselves\, share what they do and learn about one another’s work\, interests and challenges. \nThe format takes some of the awkwardness out of networking. You don’t have to figure out how to enter a conversation or spend the evening hoping to meet the right person. Each rotation offers a fresh introduction and a chance to find common ground. \nThe goal is simple: start relationships that can grow beyond the evening. You might discover a potential collaborator\, a helpful resource\, a future customer or someone who understands the challenges you’re navigating. Bring your curiosity\, a brief introduction and a willingness to listen. No polished sales pitch required. \nConnections That Strengthen Our Community\nSince the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce launched MRV Women in Business in the winter of 2021\, the initiative has become a valuable part of our work to connect and support the local business community. \nThese gatherings bring together business owners\, employees\, independent professionals and community leaders whose paths might not otherwise cross. They also help the Chamber hear new perspectives and involve more people in our collective work. \nThat’s an important part of what Chamber membership supports: opportunities to build relationships\, exchange ideas and work together to strengthen the Valley. In a small community\, a simple introduction can open unexpected doors. \nYou don’t have to own a business or have attended a previous gathering to participate. Whether you’re new to the Valley\, starting something new or looking to expand your circle\, we hope you’ll join us. \nSave the date: December 3 at the 1824 House Inn & Barn.\nWatch for event times and registration details soon.

You’re invited to share\, listen\, reflect\, or simply be present. There is no right way to grieve\, and there is no expectation that you have to speak. \nAll kinds of grief are welcome here. This may include the loss of a loved one\, chronic or terminal illness\, the loss of a beloved pet\, changing stages of life\, environmental or global grief\, and the many other visible and invisible losses we experience throughout our lives. \nAnd your grief doesn’t have to be recent to belong here. Grief stays with us throughout our lives; it simply changes shape as time passes. Sometimes it is close to the surface\, and sometimes it quietly surprises us. There is room for all of it. \nAll grief is valid. All grief is welcome. \n📍 Location: Enter through the back door and take the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor. We’ll gather in the conference room. \n⌚ Frequency: Every 2nd Wednesday of the month \n💛 Want monthly reminders and reflections on grief?\nEmail Rachel at rachel@wherethelovelies.com to join the email list.

In addition to many end-of-school year activities\, travel and school breaks\, June 1 marked the beginning of Atlantic hurricane season ─ a reminder that severe weather can also quickly disrupt the ability to donate in affected areas and potentially delay or cancel blood drives. \nPower Red: A Power Red donation collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor. These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg\, B Neg\, or O blood. \n\n\nBlood: The most common type of donation\, during which approximately a pint of ‘whole blood’ is given.
