#VT – In it’s first week, the Hyde Park Front Porch Forum attracted 100 members… a strong start for a town with 1,200 households.
And 25% of the households in East Montpelier are on board their FPF already, just three months after launch. And they’re putting it to great use. Here’s a note posted by Barbara today…
Hurrah for Front Porch Forum and the generous people of East Montpelier! Saturday we asked for a wheelchair and intercom and today we have both! We had four offers of wheelchairs and two offers of intercoms. Thank you all.
If you’d like to bring FPF to your town in Vermont, please enter your information on our home page, or contact Michael Wood-Lewis. (Here’s a map and list of our current coverage area.)
