Join us in this conversation to learn and share how we can create an age friendly northern Berkshire county together. Also note that the organizers of the Friendship Center Food Pantry at 43 Eagle St. ask friends who attend the nbCC forums to please bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the pantry.
