Adams Resident Wins Public Service Award10:01AM / Friday, September 04, 2009
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. - Lorraine C. Robinson of Adams is the 2009 recipient of The Margery and William Barrett Public Service Award for Adams, Cheshire and Savoy. Ms. Robinson will receive $500 to designate to the nonprofit of her choice, in her name.
Ms. Robinson was chosen by a committee of residents active in community affairs using the combined criteria of impact of the nominee’s work on the community and the nominee’s leadership, perseverance and innovation. In making her nomination on behalf of the Board of Directors of Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum, director Martha Dailey noted that Ms. Robinson “promote(s) continuing education of the community—near and far—on the relentless work that Susan B. Anthony accomplished in changing minds on slavery, equal rights for women and the end of violence in all its forms.” Because of Ms. Robinson’s perseverance, concern and commitment, the Susan B. Anthony Museum is scheduled to open this month.
This award commemorates the extraordinary generosity of Margery Barrett, who gave over $3 million during and after her lifetime to benefit the communities of Adams, Cheshire and Savoy. The Barrett award is given annually to an individual who has shown their generous spirit and strong commitment to the communities of Adams, Cheshire or Savoy through their paid or volunteer work by breaking new ground or improving the economic, educational, civic, cultural or social fabric of the community.
The Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation manages the Barrett Public Service Award. Applications for the Spring 2010 award are available online at www.berkshiretaconic.org/grantseekers.
Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation builds stronger communities and improves the quality of life for all residents of Berkshire County, MA; Columbia County and northeast Dutchess County, NY; and northwest Litchfield County, CT. Thanks to its generous donors, in 2008 Berkshire Taconic distributed nearly $9 million in scholarships and grants for programs in the arts and education, health and human services, and environmental protection. Berkshire Taconic is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. |
