Special Annual Meeting, Film Showing And Concert Dec. 14
This year's VBS Annual Meeting is going to be held in tandem with a very special event.
- Where: Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center, Film House, 60 Lake Street, Burlington, VT
- 5:30 Doors Open, 6 PM Short Annual Meeting
- 6:30 Documentary “Bonnie Blue: James Cotton's Life InThe Blues”

In this emotionally evocative feature documentary film, an intimate portrait reveals the untold story of a legend whose influence endures. James Cotton’s life tracks a swath of America’s history -- from the post-depression cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta to tough Chicagoland’s era of brilliant artistic reinvention to today’s live music scene in Austin, Texas. This musical journey unfolds in a joyful, thumping original film through an exploration of harmonica-based blues music and stories shared by some of the nation’s most respected musicians, including Buddy Guy, Keb ‘Mo, Jimmie Vaughan, Steve Miller, Bobby Rush, Christine Ohlman, and more. The film has already garnered several awards including placing as one of five finalists in the prestigious Library of Congress Ken Burns Prize for Film.

A Warm Welcome To New VBS Board of Directors Paul McMahon and Peter Case
VBS is pleased to announce that Paul McMahon was elected by membership with the most votes to serve a 3 year term on the board that expires in January 2026. With Dennis' resignation from the board mid-term, the VBS Board Of Directors voted to fill the position with Peter Case, who received the second most votes from membership. Peter's term expires in 2025.
We look forward to working with Paul and Peter to bring our members VBS sponsored events in the coming months. We also want to thank, Ron Horton, the third highly qualified candidate, and hope he will join our efforts in the future as a volunteer.
