Help RCHS exceed our $20,000 year end matching challenge

Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) has a fabulous opportunity to end 2021 with a bang! Two very generous supporters have offered to donate $20,000 to RCHS if the community will match it by Dec. 31, 2021. What a great opportunity to help the homeless animals in Rutland County! Before you know it, we will have reached our goal of $20,000, and then it will be matched, making twice the difference and helping twice as many animals. Every dollar helps! If you would like to donate, visit our website at rchsvt.org, or, you can send a check to RCHS at 765 Stevens Road, Pittsford, VT 05763 and note “Year End Matching Challenge” in the memo line. For any questions, please contact Beth at shelterbeth@rchsvt.org or call 802-483-9171. Thank you for being part of this wonderful opportunity to help the animals!

‘Stone in Love’

I can’t tell you the exact date of my memory, but it probably coincided with the popularity of the aforementioned song, likely around my sophomore year of high school.  The memory revolves around a weekend night in…
