5:00 to 6:00 PM: Grange program–Central VT and the COVID pandemic

Grange Lecturer & WGDR Radio host Carl Etnier on “How Central Vermont Confronted—and Was Confronted by—the Pandemic”.

WGDR radio host and local journalist Carl Etnier has interviewed a wide cross section of central Vermonters during the pandemic, from homeless people housed in hotels by the state to doctors to small business owners to a health care worker who contracted Covid-19 on the job. He’ll reflect on how the pandemic has struck central Vermont, how people here have responded, and what that says about resilience for future disruptive events.   We’ll have time to ask questions and discuss the impact of this unprecedented time on us all and our community.

Carl has hosted the “Relocalizing Vermont” radio show on WGDR for quite a few years.  This gives him a unique perspective on the attitudes and concerns of Central VT.   For more info on the weekly show, check out https://www.wgdr.org/relocalizingvermont/, and listen in on Thursday mornings, 9:00 to 10:30!
