Poetry at the Grange

Poets, poetry lovers, and everyone interested in poetry are invited to gather at the historic Charlotte Grange Hall!  Bring a few of your favorite poems or your own poetry to read or recite, or just come to listen.  Enjoy a discussion with fellow enthusiasts over tea and cookies.   

Joining us on February 13 will be Shelburne’s Poet Laureate, Amy Allen.  At the beginning of our gathering she’ll share a bit about herself, her work, and read a few poems. Amy Allen studied English literature and creative writing at Skidmore College and at Drew University. She is an avid writer, and her poetry and short fiction have been published in a variety of literary journals. Amy loves spending time outdoors in Vermont, and these experiences inform a great deal of her written work.

We hope to make this a monthly gathering and will be meeting on February 13, March 13, and April 10 to start, 1:00 - 2:30 PM at the Charlotte Grange Hall.

RSVPs appreciated by not necessary:  abigailkilley@me.com

Worn American Flag Collection

Weather and the sun inevitably result in a worn-out flag. If your flag is tattered or soiled and it's time for a new one, the Charlotte Grange can help you make sure your old flag is taken care of properly.

On Memorial Day, the Grange will be collecting worn flags from our Charlotte cemeteries and taking them to the Vergennes American Legion to be "retired" in a Flag Day ceremony there. If you have a flag to dispose of, please bring it to the Charlotte Memorial Day event on Monday, May 26 at 9 AM at the Grandview Cemetery (403 Church Hill Rd.) OR drop off your flag at the Grange Hall (2858 Spear St.) May 24 - 31. There will be a covered bin in front of the Grange Hall.

Storytelling at the Grange

Vermont resident Samara Anderson has decided to host a storytelling event at every public library in Vermont. This creative endeavor began in May of 2024 and will continue until as many of the 185 Vermont public libraries as possible have hosted one of her storytelling events.

These performances are an amazing way to bring the community together to enjoy the creative and vulnerable act of storytelling.  We hope you’ll join this event as storytellers and audience members, sharing and listening to true, spellbinding, and reflective narratives.

To be held at the Grange, in collaboration with our great friends at the Charlotte Library!

Please contact Samara Anderson to sign up to be a storyteller, or with any questions: anderson_samara@yahoo.com

Charlotte Walks

Join us for this month's "Charlotte Walks"!

On the third Friday of each month, we meet at 8:30 at a different Charlotte trailhead for a morning walk. It's a great way to get more familiar with Charlotte's public trails, and to meet up and chat with other Charlotters. Walks usually last about an hour and are led at a comfortable adult walking pace.

On October 18th, we’ll walk together on Charlotte’s Village Loop Trail.  This lovely well-kept trail in West Charlotte will take us through woods and meadows, with an optional walk up Barber Hill for some lovely fall views.  The meadow paths are well mowed but depending on the weather there could be a lot of dew on the grass – so please wear shoes or boots that can stand getting a little wet.

We will meet at the trailhead parking area at the Old Lantern Inn and Barn at 3260 Greenbush Road.  When you pull into the driveway, trailhead parking is immediately to your left along the treeline by the road. 

Shout out to our partners on the Charlotte Trails Committee for maintaining this and other trails in our town. You can find out more about the trails - and the committee - on the town website (or, come to this walk and ask us!).

Contact Karen at kknh.nh@gmail.com if you have any questions!
