Dear Members of the Land Trust,
 
The Wintonbury Land Trust has a critical decision to make-and we want to hear your thoughts. We're calling a meeting of our members for Tuesday March 4th from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. in Room 2 of the Alvin & B Wood Human Service Center, 330 Park Ave.  
 
We will cover how we've financed our organization the last several years and the opportunities we have for future income including property sales and utility easements.
 
We will not take a vote at this time, but should we in the future, "members" are defined in our by-laws as those who are up to date with their dues (which you should be anyway!).
 
It would be helpful if you could let us know if you plan to attend, but come in any case. To rsvp or if you have questions please call Chip Caton at 860-286-0239.
 
Thank you.
 
Dale Bertoldi
 

 
President
Wintonbury Land Trust
