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.

iBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The North Adams SteepleCats Wednesday scored two runs on an error in the bottom of the ninth to earn a 5-4 win over the Vermont Mountaineers in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
 
Matthew Colella started the game-winning rally with a single to left. Chris Diaz then drew a walk.
 
Hunter Ray's fly ball to center allowed both runners to move up, and the Mountaineers intentionally walked Jake Butler to load the bases.
 
Nelphie Lopez then grounded into a fielder's choice, but an error on the play allowed Colella and Diaz to score to end the game.
 
Vermont rallied to take the lead with two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth after North Adams built a 3-1 lead.
 
Jake Butler went 2-for-3 and Lopez doubled in a six-hit attack for the SteepleCats.
 
North Adams used five relievers on the mound after starter Gage Wheaton went four innings, allowing one run. Parker Guthrie earned the win after striking out a pair in a scoreless ninth inning.
