b'VAST DirectionDear VAST Members, By VAST Executive Director Cindy LockeVERMONT ASSOCIATIONWhat a very strange and horrifying way to end our winter season with a virus the likes of which we have never seen! I want to say that I hope all of you are safe. I am so concerned for those of you who are older, have compromised immune systems, work in critical care fields, or have essential jobs. I am concerned for those on limited incomes. I worry about your families. I worry about all the businesses affected by this crisis and all those out of work. My thoughts and prayers are for all of you. I hope we make it through this tough time and find health and balance on the other side.As a way to offer more pleasant things for us to look at right now and maybe lift some spirits, I have decided to just post some photos I took this winter while I was out enjoying some great Vermont trails and meeting so many of you out there. Maybe by the time you get this, life will be back to some kind of normal. Thank you to all our volunteers, clubs and landowners! Blessings and Peace,'
