The Rotary Club of Barre has agreed to manage the concession stand at the BOR ice rink. Initially, just for SHS Boys and Girls home games, we see the obligation to open for Black Bear Hockey, public skating, and Barre Figure Skating events, and potentially other functions held at the BOR. Black Bear Hockey has replaced BYSA Hockey and has games every Friday Night (Friday Night Lights) and weekend mornings. Rotarian Ed Rousse is spearheading this effort and is responsible for inventory, pricing, and volunteer scheduling. Barre Rotary has the VT Rooms & Meals Tax license and is responsible for all taxes. As a “turnkey” operation, Ed will teach and train volunteers to serve patrons during events held at the ice rink. Barre Rotary is willing to share the profits with organizations that volunteer. You can sign up together or step in with others scheduled for each event. Our goal is to open the concession stand when patrons attend events, prepare and serve the items we have for sale, manage the cash transactions, keep the room tidy, and have fun. Item prices are easy to remember as all items are currently $2 (all candy, soda, popcorn, water, Gatorade, coffee or tea) or $3 (hot chocolate/cappuccino, pretzels, hot dogs/sausage). Hands-on training is easiest when you show up at the concession stand 30 minutes before the event starts. It’s very casual, sometimes slow and occasionally busy (between periods) and the tasks are simple and manageable for most, once you’ve done it a few times. I can go over each function and the most efficient way to do it as you serve the customers. Myself or another Rotarian will typically be there to open or close and there is a BOR Concession Stand manual for easy reference on each task. Please contact me to discuss details and to volunteer for some shifts! Yours in Service,
Ed Rousse, 802-272-3088 |

Apr. 09, 2025
Please join us today as we learn about adult education in Central Vermont! Brian Kravitz, Director of Outreach and workforce Development, has been with Central Vermont Adult Education (CVAE) for over a decade. His greatest professional pleasure is sharing the work and successes of the organization. When the entire community knows what CVAE does, student numbers increase and pipelines to local business and industry are forged and strengthened. We all know at least someone who would benefit from CVAE services, and as businesses are seeking qualified candidates, CVAE can help to fill those positions.

Apr. 16, 2025
Join us today to learn about the Vermont River Conservancy! Our speaker, Amanda Garland, first joined VRC as River Steward for their 2023 summer season and is now the full-time Stewardship Coordinator, where she continues to care for VRC sites via field-based easement monitoring and land stewardship projects. Amanda has a BA in Environmental Science, with an emphasis on Terrestrial Ecology, and graduate-level study in conservation ethics, ecology, and natural resource management at UVM’s Rubenstein School. Backed by her rich experience as a service project leader, park ranger, trails manager, and conservation educator, Amanda brings enthusiasm and a can-do sense of adventure to everything she does. She loves hiking and monitoring the beautiful properties conserved by Vermont River Conservancy, envisioning how they can be best protected and utilized, and working directly with landowners and community members to engage them in hands-on work supporting our conservation goals. Amanda is a local Vermonter who lives in Barre in a house she built (and continues to improve upon) with her own two hands! She loves planting trees and gardening and has a passion for long-distance paddling. She’s completed all but one section of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, saving the Allagash Wilderness for last! |
