Funds raised for early child-care programs

Thank you to more than 100 amateur and professional artists who helped make the Windham Child Care Association's fourth annual Fall Into Art benefit a successful event, raising nearly $8,000.

This year's silent auction event was again held at the All Souls Church in West Brattleboro on Oct. 17, with the assistance of Suzanne d'Corsey and Joy Wallens-Penford. Complementing the beautiful array of art was wonderful food from the Vermont Country Deli and the delightful sounds of Jazzberry Jam.

A number of businesses donated gift certificates or sponsored our event program. We also thank local media.

Profits from the auction go directly toward promoting a good start for all our children through our many programs, including child-care referral and financial assistance programs, professional development program for early childhood educators, the child- and adult-care food program, as well as our bookmobile and child-care programs.
