<<  The Beach at Joe's Pond Open June 1st for the Summer >>

The West Danville Community Club continues to operate the beach for summer swimming at Joes Pond. They are working hard to raise money to pay for the beach operation and improvements. They need your continued support to insure its existence and success for years to come, and need additional help at this time to pay for much needed renovations to the beach facilities.  Donations may be left at Hastings Store or mailed to: West Danville Community Club, P.O. Box 6 West Danville, VT 05873.  If you have time and talents and wish to assist in the beach operation renovations Send a Note to Jill at the above address. As a note the water from the beach is tested every week during the summer, and for the past four years has never failed a test.
