Earl and Donald Taylor's Appreciation Luncheon July 28, 2024.
 Chris Leach representing Seventy-Six Lodge #14 of Free and Accepted Masons  Gary Godin representing American Legion Post 1 St. Albans  Mike French representing Civil Air Patrol  John Fitzgerald representing EAA Chapter No. 613  Beth White "Modern Rosies" representing Habitat for Aviation  Heather Lavoie representing Swanton Historical Society We are very grateful to be recipients of the Taylor Brothers Endowment. Learning of their love of the community and passion of service touched our hearts. They bestowed a drive in us to do our best by giving back to our community, and to care for people by not being afraid to be involved and challenging yourself. We have restored a great building, the Toll House, that is full of character and stories that speak of years ago that needed to be told for future generations. That is possible because of the Taylor Brothers generosity still for our community, and will be written on a plaque honoring them and their spirit of giving. Swanton Historical Society is embarking on a new project to have a permanent home at the Roy Insurance Building at 21 Merchants Row, where It would be befitting and an honor to commemorate The Taylors Brother's love of their downtown business, Taylor Marine, as I remember their store as a little girl. They touched so many people lives and were interwoven into the fabric of our town. Saying thank you seems like a small thing when these two men exemplified the heart and soul of citizenship, brotherly love, and the Swanton community, but thank you Earl and Donald.  Hank Lambert representing Swanton Enhancement Project  A wonderful Chicken and Bisquit dinner with delicious desserts was had by all!

Special thanks to everyone who helped to make our kids in worship and Cinco de Mayo/Our Little Roses potluck lunch such a wonderful event. Holy Trinity's 20 plus years sponsorship of Girls at Our Little Roses has been a wonderful example of how one can make a difference in a child's life a world away. Highlights of the day were the wonderful Honduras Pot Luck dishes and Steve Marshall's famous Chili. It was fun watching the children break the Pinata and gather up goodies to share with everyone. Special thanks to Jessica Gratton for helping in the kitchen and getting goodies for the Pinata and to everyone who planned, set up, served and cleaned up after our pot luck! May 5, 2024.

Mothering Sunday. The children worked hard on Saturday making the Simnel cake for coffee hour as we celebrate the "Mothering Sunday" tradition at Holy Trinity. Special thanks to parents, family members and children that were able to join us in the kitchen. Thanks to Natalie Good, Mattie Lampman, and Jessica Dittmar, for volunteering to help with this project. On Sunday we decorated Simnel cake and had a special Sunday School lesson on the theme of "Rejoice". Learned the song "This is the Day that the Lord Has Made" and discussed how we need to make the best of whatever kind of day God gives to all of us. March 10, 2024.
