BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. — Greater Falls Connections (GFC) will be holding a coalition meeting on Monday, May 8, at 5:30 p.m., at Parks Place Community Resource Center, located at 44 School Street in Bellows Falls, to hear community voices on proposed changes to the vision and mission statements and bylaws.
The director and advisory board reviewed each to ensure they match the work that the board and staff at GFC are doing. You can find the document highlighting the changes located at www.tinyurl.com/GFCproposedbylaws.
Coalition members can share their thoughts and propose changes during the meeting. Who is a coalition member?

The board will vote on the proposed changes, including any revisions, in their regular board meeting, which follows immediately after the coalition meeting. All coalition members are invited to stay and learn more about GFC’s work. The coalition will then vote on the changes at the annual meeting, which will be held in late June.
