Seeking Pathways Out of the Opioid Addiction Crisis in Vermont
Wednesday, December 5, 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM)
Champlain Room, Champlain College's Center for Communication and Creative Media, 3rd Floor, 375 Maple Street

An obituary for Madelyn Ellen Linsenmeir, a 30-year-old mother from Burlington, touched thousands of readers in Vermont and across the country. But Linsenmeir's family and Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo want her story to stir more than grief. The Burlington Free Press will host a town hall discussion at Champlain College on how we, as a community, can find our way out of this crisis.

Panelists include: Kate O'Neill, sister of Linsenmeir and author of her obituary; Chief del Pozo; Gary De Carolis, executive director of the Turning Point Center; and Liza Ryan, a Champlain College student who is in recovery.

Event is free and open to the public. The event will also be broadcast in real time on Facebook Live and Livestream.
