“This program is a successful, proactive way to help people in our community who are in need of assistance during times of stress and depression,” wrote Ed Cutler, president of Gun Owners of Vermont, in a recent news release.
A second workshop will be held Sunday, Sept. 25 at the Fairbanks Museum in St Johnsbury from 4-5:30 p.m.
