[Magdalen] Taxes???

[Scott Knitter]

Charles, I was recently in Vermont but stayed for free, at the Bromley View
Inn in the Town of Winhall. We had our Benedictine community Convocation
there. The community recently bought the B&B, which becomes a monastery for
a week in April and November. Already feels like home. The abbot and a
solemnly professed sister live and work there, and a solemnly professed
brother plans to join them there.

We attended Zion Episcopal Church in Manchester Center on the Sunday.
