Text Box:       DRIVEL                   Summer – 2001                     Page # 2 Text Box: ACCOMMODATIONS   The following is a list of some of the places to stay in the area. It is by no means a complete listing nor is it an endorsement for any of them. We include it only to let those of you from out of town have some places and numbers to call for reservations. It is best to make reservations as early as possible as this is a busy time of year.   Inn at Saxton’s River: 802-387-5822 Econo Lodge of Brattleboro: 802-254-6007 Days Inn, Brattleboro: 1-800-329-7466 Motel 6, Brattleboro: 802-254-6007 Colonial Motel & Spa, Brattleboro: 802-257-7733 Rockingham Motor Inn, Bellows Falls: 802-463-4536 Hetty Green Motel, Bellows Falls: 802-463-4536 Putney Inn, Putney: 802-387-5517 Riverbend Lodge, Townshend: 802-365-7952 Townshend Country Inn, Townshend: 802-365-4141 KOA Campground, E.

I found that it is one thing to publish the old way and something else again to design it so that it will not only look fairly decent on the Web Page but that it will print out from there and still resemble what you are seeing on your monitor.   Those of you getting this issue from the Web Page will also notice the lack of the two roster pages  that are usually in “Drivel.” The reason for this is that our roster contains not only our names, addresses and calls but also telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and birth dates. Probably anyone whishing to find this information out could do it but a Web Page does not seem the place to show this information so I made the decision to omit it from the electronic issue of “Drivel.” Hopefully I will manage to attach those two pages to an e-mail and send them to those who have e-mail addresses.   Thanks for your patience while I muddle my way through this learning experience. Hopefully the next issue will be better.   73 de Elaine / KA1TWV Text Box: GREEN MOUNTAIN NET GET—TOGETHER WEEKEND September 7th—9th 2001
