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.

Lois Daunis
North Adams, Mass. 

Daunis is the board president of the Friendship Center.

Greylock’s day started against the Connecticut Lightning, which jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first and went on to a 3-1 victory.
 
Marlee Arnhold (1-for-2) drove in Evelyn Julieano (1-for-2) for the Thunder’s run in the top of the fifth.
 
Arnhold also went the distance in the circle, striking out four and walking just one in five innings of work.
