Fletcher Farm School thanks community

Dear Editor,

The Board of Directors of Fletcher Farm School for the Arts & Crafts wishes to express its gratitude to all local businesses for their generous donations. The school received many fabulous items and gift certificates for their 70th Anniversary Celebration, making it a great success, despite the New England weather surprise.

The school wishes to thank the many businesses for their generous support and also the artists, instructors, members and contributors to the Society of Vermont Artists and Craftsmen, which owns and runs Fletcher Farm School. Without their continued support, the school would not be able to provide scholarships to young artists and support the community.

Layne Herschel, Ludlow
