VCBS president asks West Windsor to consider membership and covered-bridge flag project
Summary
Beth Brown-Limmer urged the town to join the Vermont Covered Bridge Society (municipal membership) and described a 250th Anniversary Flag Project to place American flags at covered bridges; the board asked staff to follow up on cost and installation details.
Beth Brown-Limmer, president of the Vermont Covered Bridge Society, asked the Town of West Windsor to consider a municipal membership, describing benefits such as quarterly newsletters, access to meeting minutes, a lost-bridge database and committee participation. She said the town owns two covered bridges — Bowers Covered Bridge and Best Covered Bridge — and that VCBS lists roughly one-third of covered-bridge towns as members.
Brown-Limmer also described a VCBS 250th Anniversary Flag Project to place an American flag at each covered bridge. Selectboard members noted discrepancies between an online lower-priced membership option and the $100 municipal fee Brown-Limmer requested; Brown-Limmer said the $17 online price is a website migration error and that VCBS is phasing out a low-cost membership. Chair Mark Higgins said he would discuss installation, lighting and maintenance with town staff and follow up with VCBS.
