We’ve all seen and witnessed the devastation that was caused by Irene here in Vermont. You may have personally experienced the impact of this storm and are participating in efforts to clean-up and rebuild our beautiful state. Our hearts go out to all those who have suffered losses as a result of this storm. Our staff has not been immune to the effects of Irene as well, but, we have repeatedly asked ourselves, how can we best utilize our skills to assist in this effort?

Our staff has generously agreed to donate their time to assist us in putting together a fundraising event that will be used to raise money for the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund. We have decided to silent auction donated framed photographs by Vermont photographers in addition to auctioning off digital cameras and gear. We would like to have a silent auction of work that is inspiring and reflects the best of what we as photographers have to offer for the restoration of one of the best places to live in this country.
We have already started to organize this event and have scheduled a place and time. We will hold the event on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011 at the Green Mountain Club Headquarters. We have set up a dedicated webpage with the details of the event. Please visit the webpage here. We have included some of the photographs and items we have received, and will continue to update the website as we get more. The response to our requests for donations has been incredible, and we are proud to have wonderful customers, neighbors, and business partners. We hope you will be able to attend to help make this benefit a success. If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation to the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund at Vermont211.org.
