Calais Community Survey - 2023

1. Calais Community Survey

Founded in 2020, the Friends of Calais was created to broaden the scope of enrichment activities and programs to better serve and connect the community members of Calais, VT. We wish to celebrate the unique opportunities in each of our hamlets, linking community members with traditions, interests, and each other.

The purpose of this survey is for us, the Friends of Calais leadership, to learn more about the interests, needs and values of our community members in order to create events, programs and gatherings that bring us all together in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
