Everybody needs a helping hand from time to time. Sometimes it's a friend who takes the time to listen, and sometimes it's a teacher who gives a helping hand to a student. For the past 10 years a program in southern Vermont has been giving a helping hand to help women get back on their feet.

Classes run for 14 weeks and are offered in several parts of the state, including the prisons in Waterbury and Windsor. Clingan said many of the women who go through the program undergo tremendous transformations. She says there're more hopeful, learn to connect with other women and helps them to feel empowered.

Making the Most of I will be holding a 10 year anniversary and fundraising benefit featuring Gemini Trapeze of Nimble Arts, and music and puppets by the Annies on Mother's Day, Sunday, May 11 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Bellows Falls Opera House. Bring the whole family by for a good time for a good cause.

Tickets are $10 each, with a family maximum of $30. Tickets are available at Village Square Booksellers, Bellows Falls

Apron Strings, Springfield Chrysanthemum and Brattleboro Books.
