The Taste of Vermont Legislative Reception

Testimonials from our members:

"It was so great talking with you at the Taste of Vermont event! I want to thank you for all your help with Senator Leahy. I know that getting President Obama to use our shades in the White House is a long shot, but I think it is important and when we get the kind of support you've shown us it feels like we might just make it happen!" -Kelly Conklin, EcoSmart Manager, Gordon's Window Decor.
