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.

Mill Town Circus Hosts Free Family Event

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Mill Town Circus is offering a free community event on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 10 to 1 at Noel Field Athletic Complex.
 
The event will run in conjunction with the Children's Parade & Fair at Noel Field the same day. 
 
Mill Town Circus has staged circus shows in the past during Fall Foliage Week focusing on the region's mill history. Producers Carlo and Brenda Pellegrini said this year they decided to do something different and asked if they could add their fun day to children's activities. 
 
"For the past 20 years, we have presented this interactive circus program approximately 2500 times for audiences throughout New England and beyond," the Pellegrinis wrote. "It's tried and true — and a great time for children, parents and grandparents alike."
 
They hope to make this event as accessible as possible. 
 
This program is made possible by the generous contributions of Mountain One Bank, North Adams Partnership And Tourists Hotel.
