The Village to Village Network is a national organization supporting community-based, nonprofit organizations of caring neighbors who support seniors as they age. Local "Villages" connect members to a wide array of practical support services and social connections that enable older adults to enjoy a rich, independent and healthy quality of life when they choose to age in their homes and communities. Villages build a sense of community and offer resources, services, programs and activities, including social and educational programs, health and wellness activities and volunteer assistance with transportation, light home maintenance, and technology coaching.

There are currently 2 villages in Vermont, serving seniors in the Mt. Mansfield and Lamoille Valley areas. Several Shelburne residents attended a recent presentation about Village to Village, and are meeting to discuss the village concept and the merits of developing a Shelburne "village." If you're interested, please join us on Monday, Dec. 5 from 5:30-7:00 at the Pierson Library.
