The Town Fair Grand Raffle will be a bit more grand this year, with more than $6,000 in raffle prizes. Each VLCT member attending Town Fair will receive a free raffle ticket, and all attendees will have the opportunity to buy more tickets onsite: 1 for $5, 3 for $10, or 10 for $20. VLCT hopes to raise at least $2,000 to support the VLCT Municipal Service Scholarship Fund. Prizes will be announced during the Ice Cream Social at 4 PM the day of Town Fair. Winners must be present to take home the loot!
The VLCT Municipal Service Scholarship was established in May 2023 to encourage Vermonters to serve in a city, town, or village government. VLCT has partnered with the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) to administer the scholarship for Vermont residents. To qualify, applicants must be a Vermont municipal employee, a Vermont municipal official (elected or appointed), or a dependent child age 26 or younger of a Vermont municipal official or employee. Applicants must also intend to work in municipal government and plan to attend an accredited school in Vermont. Applications for the scholarship are available online at www.vsac.org/pay/student-aid-options/scholarships/vsac-assisted-scholarships.
