I received a note from COTS and it stated that, as of May, $146,000 was raised for shelters and programs for homeless Vermonters. Deb Button mentioned that there were still outstanding pledges and they seemed to be on track to meet their $175,000.00 A Big thank you to all who were able to participate. Your efforts and time to think of others are truly appreciated!
