Letter: Eleanor Sonsini Shelter Left Out

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

So I see the story about the ground breaking for a new building for the [Berkshire] Humane Society and I can't help but wonder, 'Why are funds and news articles always going to/about the Humane Society?'

Why isn't the Sonsini Shelter given the same funds and publicity? Am I missing something? Sonsini needs a new facility, Sonsini needs funds!

The event, which centers on inter-generational pickup baseball and softball games at Clapp Park, had brought in $15,650, as of Tuesday, and dontations were continuing to come in, according to organizer Joe DiCicco.
 
DiCicco has held the event since 2021, and each year it has set a new bar for money raised through entry fees paid by players in the Saturday games, a raffle and free-will donations.
 
Last year's total, then the record, was $14,135.
 
Anyone interested in adding to this year's record total can reach DiCicco at jdicicco7@aol.com or 518-390-2512.
