4th Annual Taste of the Valley
BY DONNA ALLENThe Vermont Journal
CHESTER –The Chester American Legion is pleased to announce their 4th Annual Taste of The Valley Food Festival on Thursday Evening, November 3, 2011. This is a fundraiser for the many programs at Post 67.
This year funds will go to two new recipients. The first program being supported is the Camp Keewaydin Program at Chester/Andover Elementary School and the second program is the huge
Home Alone Thanksgiving Dinner where a wonder-ful Turkey Dinner with all the fixings are served every Thanksgiving
Day to people who may be alone or just would like to come down and dine with friends and neighbors. Over the last couple of years it has become quite and event. Well over 100 people were fed last year. Most of the food is do-nated from the volunteers,
but there are some expenses. The Taste of The Valley is
a great opportunity for diners to experience menu items from area restaurants.
It is always a menu item they are well known for or maybe an item they will be introducing for the first time. For example Pizza Stone is going to bring their fa-mous wings and their Gluten free Pizza as well.
The Restaurants participating are set up around the perimeter of the huge dining room. The center of the room is set up for dining. It is as simple as taking your plate and going around the room and sampling some of the best food the area has to offer from appe-tizers to Dessert. It will be a great time
for a great cause.

An evolutionary class, emerging from Louise Nufield’s own experi-ences of recovering from whiplash received when her car flipped over last winter. The potential exists to re-cover from an injury in such a way as to become better than before. To tap into that potential, you can learn from Louisa about some tools of self-empowerment. After the Emergency Room, life does not have to be about waiting. If you’ve been there, you know what that means. By using mu-sic you already love, very gentle self-massage, somatic movement (using the 21 tools of Ageless Grace®, and basic natural principles of ana-tomical repair, you can make the process of healing from injury more meaningful and satisfactory than it might otherwise be. Louise Nufield is licensed and certified in orthope-dic massage, structural integration, neuromuscular integration; has been
doing body restorative massage for over 20 years, and became an Age-less Grace® Educator this past Feb-ruary. 8 week session, starting March 19 Noon – 1 p.m.
