Yesterday I read a nice piece in the Free Press about our friends at the ECHO Center that truly speaks to what holiday spirit, and being a thoughtful business within the community, is all about.

If you are interested in becoming an annual member of ECHO, or are renewing your already existing annual membership, ECHO will provide that same level of pass to a low-income family within the community.

The ECHO Center is an unbelievable resource for the city of Burlington and the state of Vermont in general. Their exhibits attract everyone from kids in their strollers to those who have been residents for decades. Not to mention, it is a great tourist attraction for those that visit the Burlington area, and displays with pride all that Champlain is about and has to offer. The history, presentation, remarkable research and beneficial school programs are just a few things that make ECHO an invaluable asset to our community.

As there were reportedly over 1,200 donated memberships last year, this buy-one-give-one program is a testament to the great things our waterfront organizations and businesses are doing daily to give back and make positive impacts within our community.

Being a business that “echoes” these sentiments and acts as a beneficial and contributing member of Vermont’s marine and small business communities, Burlington Boatyard thanks and supports ECHO for this great program.

Check out their website for more details www.echovermont.org, or give them a ring at 877-324-6386.
