More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, join a free arts workshop - September 24, 2008
North Adams:
UNITY (United Neighboring Interdependent Trusted Youth), a program of the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, invites all interested middle school students, ages 11-13, to join a free arts workshop. UNITY is excited to continue nBEAT (northern Berkshire Exploratory Arts Troop). nBEAT will meet Wednesday afternoons from 4:00-5:30, starting October 15th. The group will meet at the Coalition's offices on the 2nd floor of 61 Main Street (suite 218), in North Adams.
Along with meeting for creative workshops, the group will also visit local museums, libraries, galleries, natural spaces and other pertinent venues. Each visit will be preceded and followed by creative workshops centered on those visits. The focus will be to expand creative writing skills while exploring other artistic forms, like papermaking, bookmaking, illustrating and more. This free program provides snacks and materials. Also, there are possibilities for transportation to and from workshop. No past artistic experience needed, just an interest and willingness to explore and create.
Cynthia Saunders, the Director of Education at Barrington Stage Company and local poet, will continue to facilitate the workshop with support from Alison Basdekis, UNITY Program Associate and Education Coordinator at MASS MoCA.
Workshops are FREE of charge, though registration is required because space is limited. Transportation is made possible thanks to support from Berkshire Rides and the Northern Berkshire United Way. For more information and for registration, please contact Alison Basdekis at 413-663-7588 or email abasdekis@nbccoalition.org. |
