Brattleboro Area Hospice is excited to host its 13th annual Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) Celebration and Community Alter on November 6th, from 5:00-7:00PM at Experienced Goods Thrift Shop, 77 Flat St. in downtown Brattleboro VT.
The event is inspired by the Latin American holiday, Dia de los Muertos, a time when families gather to honor loved ones who have died. In keeping with this tradition, staff and volunteers from Brattleboro Area Hospice create an Ofrenda, or large community altar that will be available at Experienced Goods Thrift Shop. The public is invited and encouraged to bring a meaningful item to lay on the Ofrenda to honor their loved one. (Please use photocopied pictures and objects of no great value as items cannot be returned.) Colorful papers and pens will be available to write memorial notes to leave on the altar. Activities for children will take place at the event. This celebration can be particularly meaningful for children; a way for them to express their connection with and memories of a loved one who has died.
This week Joe Rivers and his students examine Brattleboro Historical Society founder Walt Harrington’s efforts at the Fort Dummer dig.
On Saturday evening, November 14, Strolling of the Heifers proudly presents An Evening With Rabbi Bob Alper: Honorary Comedic Advisor to Pope Francis. The show begins at 8 p.m. at the Robert H. Gibson River Garden, downtown Brattleboro. Seating is limited to 200 people, and all seats are $20.

Hello Brattle-friends,
I’m hoping to find a substance abuse counselor to talk with who is open to non-absinence approaches like harm reduction, moderation and so forth. I’m looking for someone who can meet me where I’m at, take my goals seriously and be non-judgmental and non-pressuring. Any ideas or recommendations anyone may have would be appreciated.
Thanks a million.
