More than 100 nonprofit leaders from across the state will convene at the Vermont State House on Thursday, February 9th for the third annual Vermont Nonprofit Legislative Day.

There will also be a brief annual report on the work of Common Good Vermont and a 2:30 p.m. meeting with Governor Peter Shumlin on challenges facing Vermont's nonprofits sector.

Look for a Scavenger Hunt involving local merchants and a poetry walk of elementary school literature about “Why I love Ludlow.”
