NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Northern Berkshire Community Coalition will hold its annual meeting at Greylock WORKS on Friday, June 16, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

 

This marks its 37th year as a community organization.

 

This year's keynote speaker will be state Sen. Paul Mark and the coalition will honor George and Nancy Canales with the Northern Berkshire Hero Award for their decades of community involvement, including their volunteer efforts with the LaFesta Baseball Exchange, the SteepleCats baseball team and the North Adams visitors booth.

 

The theme of this year's meeting, "Telling Your Story," will include memories captured in photographs of the past 37 years of work the coalition has done in the community. Some  photographs will be enlarged and displayed throughout the event space and thousands of photographs will be available for attendees to search through and take home. The coalition recently digitally archived its collection of photographs and welcomes the community to take home any photographs they would like to keep. Most of the photographs available are from 1998  through 2002.

 

Tickets for the event are $25 per person. Scholarships are available for community residents who would like to attend. Buffet lunch, coffee and dessert will be provided by M&J's Taste of Home Catering. Registration is available online or by calling the coalition at 413-663-7588.
