The devastation to Vermont has been extreme. Tropical Storm Irene brought heavy rain, flooding, and raging rivers on Sunday August 28th to the villages and towns of Vermont. As rivers jumped their banks, and re-routed themselves, many residents and businesses were left flooded and isolated for days. Worst impacted from the TPW Management employee family is the Board Liaison for the Stratton Portfolio, Karin Hardy. Karin has lost her Jamaica home and all ber belongings. Fortunately, Karin, her sons, and Clem the lab, are safe. See the video of the flooding in Jamaica. An article on Karin's situation appeared in the Wall Street Journal on September 12th. TPW Management hosted a benefit on Friday September 9th, and thanks go out to all that attended the event in support of Karin and her family. If you were not able to attend, would like to help Karin through this devastating time, see info below on how to donate.
