Greetings!
Paul Bruhn helped so many Vermont communities believe the impossible was possible, even inevitable. When I learned that the Preservation Trust Board of Directors had set a goal of raising a million dollars for a fund in his honor to preserve the essential character of Vermont, I was not surprised. They knew we could do it. That you could do it. That Paul would be cheering us on.
On Paul’s 74th “birthday weekend” we surpassed our goal and as of today have raised $1,005,529.79 for the Paul A Bruhn Fund. You made this happen and all of us at PTV are profoundly grateful. Grants from the fund will be used to support the kinds of projects Paul championed throughout his career. He empowered and motivated all of us to take action to save and protect the built environment, town and village centers, and the special gathering places where we can meet our neighbors and welcome new ones. We’ve all learned from Paul that the seemingly impossible is possible. And when we come together to celebrate, preserve, and share this place we call home, we can do anything. Thank you!
Sincerely,
