Vermonters helping National Guard families

A group of Vermonters is working to make sure family members are taken care of when members of the Vermont National Guard depart for training before a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Elizabeth Perreault formed the group called Guardian Angel to raise a thousand dollars. That goal was met the first day, and the total so far is nearly six-thousand dollars. The money will go toward helping families of service members with emergencies or utility bills. If you'd like to donate, contact Perreault at (802) 279-2688.
