Letter: Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

The Board of Directors of the Al Nelson Friendship Center Food Pantry in North Adams wishes to thank the North Adams, Clarksburg and Florida Mountain community for their generation donations to the May 11 Letter Carrier Food Drive.

We received a total of 3,595 pounds of food and personal care items.

We equally want to thank our Letter Carriers who work out of the North Adams Post Office. They again went above and beyond in collecting the donations and bringing them to the collection and sorting site. They are always a pleasure to work with.

We also want to thank the Northern Berkshire United Way, the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, and the Berkshire United Way for their support, as well all of the volunteers who helped on the day of the Food Drive.

Daunis is the board president of the Friendship Center.

BRISTOL, Conn. -- The Blues held off a ninth-inning comeback bid by the North Adams SteepleCats Tuesday to earn a 4-3 win in New England Collegiate Baseball League action.
 
Nelphi Lopez singled with two out in the ninth to drive in Alex Barrist and put Matthew Colella on second with the potential tying run.
 
But Bristol pitcher Thomas Galusha got a fly ball to right field to end the game.
 
Lopez went 2-for-4 with three RBIs, and Colella was 2-for-5 with a double for North Adams.
 
SteepleCats starter Niklas Pavia gave up two runs in five innings of work on the mound.
 
North Adams (9-29) is scheduled to go to Sanford, Maine, on Wednesday for a double-header.
