The first time I heard the phrase, "Vote early and often" was from my Great Aunt Heek. Born years before women had the right to vote, once Hilda Atterberg earned the right, she used it well. Aunt Heek worked for decades as a librarian at the Rochester (NY) Public Library and lived for over 50 years with her best friend and life partner, Martha.
Although it's summer, our campaign is not on vacation! We're busy getting out to meet people and spread the message about how important this election is for our county, state, and country.
Today is Arbor Day, a day to celebrate trees and all the benefits they bring us and our world. I have always loved trees, and it was my love for trees and kids and schools that got me deeply involved with community service in Vermont.
