NBCC to Host the Annual 'Neighborlies'
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Northern Berkshire Community Coalition (NBCC) will host the Neighborlies, an annual community recognition celebration on Wednesday, Nov. 18 from 5:00 to 7:00p.m. at the MCLA Church Street Center in North Adams.
This event is free and open to the public. Snacks and light refreshments will be available.
Throughout the year, NBCC welcomes residents to consider people of all ages who have performed acts of kindness or made a positive difference in their lives, in their neighborhoods or in their community.
This year, over 100 individuals will be recognized with an award. Anyone may recognize individuals or groups in one or more of the following categories: neighborly acts, youth taking the lead, family support, businesses and groups pulling together on a project, or community health and wellness.
The Adams Street Fair Committee will be presented with this year's Steve Green Award.
This award was created in honor of Steve Green, a longtime board member of the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition and a dedicated educator.
For the past five years, these volunteers have come together to organize several free, family-friendly events for Adams and the surrounding communities, including the Annual Adams Street Fair, Movies Under the Stars, and the Summer Concert Series.
