Supporting Vermont creatives with the Grand Point Foundation.
We're thrilled to share that we're supporting Vermont's Rising Creatives Workshop, led by the Grand Point Foundation! This small group workshop with Grace Potter and Senator Rocket is meant to uplift and inspire Vermonters to take their passion for music, film, or storytelling to the next level. As storytellers who work with storytellers, we're ecstatic to be a part of the team making this happen. Interested? The application deadline is August 3.
Shoutout to Rocket and Eat Vermont for connecting us with this opportunity to support Vermont creatives. It's been great collaborating with him to support Main Street businesses in Winooski during construction, and we can't wait to work with him more in the future.

It's so rewarding to see this gorgeous website in its entirety. Thank you to Executive Director Ellie de Villiers, the Maple Broadband board, and all other stakeholders for being a fantastic team to work with!
