Vermont

From the Office of State Treasurer Mike Pieciak:

How are changes to federal policy impacting you and your neighbors? Tariffs, funding freezes, and workforce cuts are creating uncertainty for Vermont’s economy, businesses, and families.

Join us at the South Burlington Community Center Auditorium on Saturday, March 15 from 2:30 to 4:00 PM for a town hall to get the latest updates from the legislature, share your concerns or ideas for action, and gather as a community.

The panel will also examine key findings and priorities from Treasurer Pieciak’s Task Force on the Federal Transition, which was formed in January to help prepare Vermonters for any changes coming from Washington that could impact Vermont’s economy or the cost of living.

From Andrea Marion:

This 20-minute guided mindfulness practice is about readiness and intention to be mindful. To give your present moment experience all your attention. It will be as if you are ready to catch a softball or baseball when the batter hits it high in the air and you are in the outfield READY to catch it. All your mind and body are in preparation to catch this ball. It's important! and you are focused. It's the same for mindfulness - to have the intention to catch the moment in practice or in everyday life. Hosted by Andrea Marion - volunteer mindfulness leader.

Community Mindfulness started meeting in 2014, thanks to a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation to the City of Winooski. For information on the weekly Zoom/In Person Community Mindfulness practice and discussion, contact andreamarion193@gmail.com.
