About The Hinesburg Record
Serving the Hinesburg Community Since 1987.
The Hinesburg Record is published by the Hinesburg Record Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation (EIN 03-0316330). Most of the writing, editing, photography, advertising sales, design, layout, and distribution is done on a volunteer basis; some are paid small stipends. The Record was founded in 1987 by June Giroux and Frankie Birdsall, as a mimeographed newsletter. Although we’ve grown over the years, we’ve never changed our basic mission: To chronicle Hinesburg news and events for local residents.
The Hinesburg Record is operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes. Its primary activity is to gather and distribute — for free — news, notices, information and upcoming events that are of vital interest to the town’s residents.
We provide articles that inform and educate our readers on current events, information on local government, sports, volunteer opportunities, arts and entertainment, the outdoors, business, housing and development. We promote events, recognize achievements, provide a forum for the free exchange of views and present information in a fair and accurate manner that is a reflection of the diversity of the backgrounds, goals and interests of our readers.
Having no full-time writers, we encourage — and depend on — community participation in writing and submitting articles about their organizations and upcoming events. We work with students at UVM’s Center for Community News, Champlain Valley Union High School and the Hinesburg Community School, providing them the chance to write, design and see their work in print.
