Red Cross Blood Drive * United Church of Benson is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Monday April 27th from 12PM – 5PM at the 2793 Stage Road, Benson, VT 05743. * Yes, it is safe. You can read about the Red Cross’ enhanced safety protocols at https://www.redcrossblood.org/. While you are there, please schedule your appointment. If you schedule your appointment prior to the drive, you can reduce your time at the drive by using Rapid Pass within 24 hours of the drive to complete reading the predonation material and answering the questions online. * The American Red Cross faces a severe blood shortage due to an unprecedented number of blood drive cancellations during this coronavirus outbreak. Healthy individuals are needed to schedule an appointment to give in the days and weeks ahead to help patients counting on lifesaving blood throughout this pandemic. * The closing of colleges and businesses have resulted in more than 6000 drives being cancelled and 200,000 less blood donations. This is our chance to help our community and state. * Please help us and the Red Cross make this a successful drive and schedule an appointment today at https://www.redcrossblood.org/. If April 27th does not work for you or you would like to donate sooner, find another drive close by and schedule your appointment there. If you can't find the answer to a specific blood donation question, call 1-800 RED-CROSS. We hope to see you on the 27th. *

Good evening. Tim Smith, chairman of the Slate Valley School District. I hope everyone is staying home and healthy in these difficult times. Many thanks to our health care providers. While difficult to discuss given the circumstances, I want to remind everyone that our school budget failed on Town Meeting Day by a small margin, 95 votes. The $59.5 million construction bond will be tabled for the foreseeable future, at least until the duration of the virus and its far-reaching impacts are better understood. Nonetheless, we are obligated to re-vote the school budget and hope to have a positive result by June 30th. While we continue to work with VT Govt officials, school administration, and town clerks, it is unclear at this time whether we will be holding an in-person vote by late spring or a mail-in vote. We will keep the public notified of any developments. Public participation is welcome at all of our meetings, however now, the ability of the public to attend is more challenging given the social distancing guidelines. In the past week, Governor Scott amended the open meeting laws whereby a physical location for the public to attend is no longer required. In the same manner that board members participate, the public is invited to attend our meetings in a virtual format. We are scheduled to have a Finance Committee on Monday 4/6 at 5:30pm, the link to attend is: https://meet.google.com/hus-roox-dkq?hs=122, dial in only 1-(502) 947-4166 PIN 781 639 980# We are scheduled to have a regular Board meeting on Monday 4/6 at 6:30pm, the link to attend is: https://meet.google.com/bzx-mcps-foo?hs=122, dial in only 1-(417) 647-1150 PIN 584 195 054# Information can also be found at the Slate Valley website, www.slatevalleyunified.org We appreciate your support and participation. Be well.

Food Disbursement * We are still working to be sure that everyone who would like meals is getting them. Meals can still be picked up at the Town Hall. If, however, you would like meals delivered to your home and haven't yet received them, please contact jlaslocky@svuvt.org with your address and the number of children needing them and we'll get you added to the roster. And, to everyone who is having their meals delivered, please leave a cooler by the road near your drive...meals should be delivered 11:30 or so). The next day for meal pick-up and delivery is Friday. Thank you for your patience as we work out this new system.
