NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The 27th annual MCLA Athletics Golf Classic will be held Monday, Sept. 23 at Wyndhurst Golf & Club in Lenox.

The Golf Classic serves as a major fundraiser for the College's Athletic Department. Over the years, the Classic has netted $25,000–$40,000 annually to support MCLA's student-athletes.

"We are so grateful to our sponsors and participants, both those who are dedicated longtime supporters and those who are new this year," said MCLA Assistant Dean for Athletics & Recreation Laura Mooney. "Their generosity and contributions allow the department to make facility upgrades and to enhance the student-athlete experience through new uniforms, team gear, and specialized equipment purchases. These items directly impact the recruitment, retention, and success of our students and student-athletes."

Each year, MCLA recognizes a deserving individual or business that has impacted MCLA Athletics. This year's honoree is Jason Dohaney '04, a financial advisor at MountainOne Investments and the chair of the MCLA Foundation.

This year's Golf Classic Premier Sponsor is MountainOne.

The format for the event is an 18-hole scramble tournament. The entry cost includes greens fees, golf cart rental, course snacks, a post-golf dinner, branded gifts, and more.

Event Schedule: Registration: 9:30–10:30 a.m. Tournament Start: 11 a.m. Awards Dinner: 5 p.m.

North Adams Boards Unanimously Elect New School Committee Member

Alexandra Di Addezio is congratulated by city and school officials.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A joint convention of the School Committee and City Council on Tuesday unanimously elected Alexandra DiAddezio to fill the vacant seat on the committee.

DiAddezio described herself as an "ardent public school advocate" who worked as an English teacher and college counselor at a high school in the Bronx, N.Y. She holds masters' degrees in English secondary education and in mental health counseling, and now works as therapist for students at Williams College.

"I'm passionate about service and collaboration, and would really be eager to bring that energy into the North Adams School Committee," she said, adding that she will have two children in the school system.

"I also noticed a growing number of folks in the community choosing to leave the public school system for alternative options, and I'm really eager to join in the work of attracting families to stay."

She said she'd been thinking about how she could serve, but was unsure about running in an election. Seeing this opening, she said, "felt like something serendipitous."

The last School Committee member elected this way was Alyssa Tomkowicz in 2023.

DiAddezio and fellow candidates Jackie DeGiorgis, Kayla Sullivan-Lane and Eric Wilson presented their reasons why they would be the best candidate to replace the departed Richard Alcombright.
