Front Porch Forum hosts online newsletters in every town in Vermont. Neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, and government officials can post messages, share news, get advice, make recommendations, announce events, sell items, and much more. It's all about helping neighbors to connect and build community.

Each week, one posting is selected for its humor, storytelling, or community-building, and then shared throughout the state. And, now you can read it here in The Bridge Weekly.

Sally shared the following appreciation in the Bristol Forum. We thought it was well worth a share:"A huge shout-out to two women (with their dogs in the car) who waited with me after Amtrak dropped me off at the station in Middlebury. It was dark and raining lightly, and they refused to leave me alone for 10 minutes until my friend picked me up after a slight miscommunication."Although some of us would have done the same, I still want to thank them for being so kind. It was late, and I am sure they and the dogs wanted to get home.I hope they read this or someone tells them."
