Last year we met Michael Wood-Lewis of Burlington, who's been helping neighbors in his community, and throughout Chittenden County, meet each other through the Front Porch Forum.
Michael and his wife started the on-line service about a year and a half ago and have watched it grow far beyond their initial expectations.
And it could expand further if the Front Porch Forum wins a national contest to be decided, appropriately enough, by on-line voting. More on that in a moment.
Michael Wood-Lewis came back to our VPR studios this week to tell us about the changes the Front Porch Forum has gone through since its debut, and to remind us what it's all about.
