In light of these recent weather events, and wanting to stand in solidarity with those in our community that have suffered so much damage, the CVCR Board and Planning Committee have together made the difficult decision to postpone this event to a future time when all the needed resources and full attention of the station are available to organize the type of event that this milestone deserves. We hope this event will be a true celebration and coming together of our community, as well as an uplifting experience for both the station and our listeners. The timing is just not right for that to happen this year.

Turning 50 is moo-mentous for anyone, but for a community radio station, for us it is utterly spectacular. Check out this special 50th anniversary design by Vermont cartoonist and author, Rachel Lindsay. We’ll have these as free stickers in the community and available at the station soon.

Can’t wait? Check out our swag store for the design on t-shirts, sweatshirts, and tote bags.

Thank you to all our programmers who have stepped up to this moment. We had one programmer hike out of their own washed-out road, hitch a ride, and go live with support for listeners. Another programmer came back to do their first live show in many years, taking calls, and sharing real-time information on road conditions, shelters, and more. Another show "put on their muck boots" and still held their bluegrass barn dance so listeners could dance it out after days of mucking out. This is what community radio is all about.

On this July 17 episode of "Relocalizing Vermont," host Carl Etnier interviews representatives from FEMA and the SBA about how Vermonters impacted by flooding can apply for recovery funds and more.

Tune in to a special "Relocalizing Vermont" on Thursday, August 3, 9am-10:30am. Carl will welcome back FEMA reps to answer questions about what they cover and don't cover (their most asked question) and also have Kevin Geiger of Two Rivers-Ottauqueechee Regional Commission, speaking about flood resilience for the state.

Stay up to date on the state of the widespread relief efforts from flooding all over our listening area with these important recovery resources listed below. We will keep adding to this list as we get more info.

Services expand and volunteers are needed to help fill variety of critical recovery roles.
