Hello, Burlington!

I’m going to be traveling for the next several days, and news tends to slow down as we get into June, so I don’t have anything pressing to report on the town front.

Instead, I wanted to share something else I wrote this week to anyone interested in reading. As you might know, I’m an author and I have a semi-weekly newsletter called Nicci’s Notes where I share things like personal essays and entertainment recommendations I think my readers will enjoy and appreciate.

Here is this week’s essay, about the village we need and are sorely lacking. It’s called, “Paying it Forward.” If you enjoy it, I’d love to see you over at Nicci’s Notes more often. You can subscribe for free.
